Maize is essential for food security in Africa, but yields remain low due to poor soil fertility and high fertilizer costs. Fertilizer microdosing (MD) offers a more efficient, cost-effective alternative, potentially improving productivity. This poster presents the evaluation of MD yield, labor, and profitability impacts compared to conventional fertilization in Vitellaria paradoxa parklands systems.
