Closing yield gaps in Ethiopia: Leveraging data-driven approaches to optimize fertilizer use and soil health
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/159983
Abstract
Ethiopia faces substantial yield gaps in cereal production, with average yields of staple crops falling significantly short of their potential. A key issue is the persistent use of blanket fertilizer recommendations, which overlook local soil variability and environmental conditions. This paper explores the transition towards climate-smart, site-specific, and data-driven fertilizer…
