Maize crop nutrient input requirements for food security in sub-Saharan Africa
(Elsevier, 2019)
Nutrient limitation is a major constraint in crop production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Here, we propose a generic and simple equilibrium model to estimate minimum input requirements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ...
