Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

One way to help crops adapt to climate change (CC) is to introduce them into new ecosystems. For this reason, wheat fertilization trials were conducted at Félix Houphouët-Boigny University. In a randomized complete block design with three replications, two trials were conducted: one to determine the NPK response curve and another to evaluate the effect of adding cations to the NPK. Fertilizers were applied as a basal dressing before sowing wheat seeds (Triticum durum desf). At the time of wheat tillering and emergence, 35 kg/ha of urea were applied on each occasion. The NPK treatment yielded the highest wheat grain yield, approximately 3.55 t/ha, at a rate of 400 kg/ha, and the highest total dry matter yield of 14.03 t/ha was achieved at a rate of 425 kg/ha. The nutrient requirements for N, P, and K were then estimated at 128 kgN/ha, 21 kg/ha for P, and 182 kg/ha for K, respectively. This book is intended for enthusiasts of modern agriculture in Africa.
