Current soil fertility management practices and their effects on the cotton production and soil on the cotton farms of Central and Western Burkina Faso

Abstract: Pratiques actuelles de gestion de la fertilité des sols et leurs effets sur la production du cotonnier et sur le sol dans les exploitations cotonnières du Centre et de l'Ouest du Burkina Faso Résumé La gestion durable des sols est devenue une préoccupation majeure pour les exploitations cotonnières du Burkina Faso du fait de la croissance démographique, de l'expansion de la culture du coton et des pratiques suboptimales de gestion de la fertilité des sols. L'étude de ces pratiques et l'évaluation de leur impac… Show more

“…As a result, the combination of ox dung and NPK mineral fertilizer compensates for the loss of nutrients and therefore increases the yield of cotton plants. Our results are consistent with those obtained by Pouya et al (2013) [18] carried out in Burkina Faso. These authors observed increases in seed cotton yield under fertilization with a combination of organic and mineral fertilizers in a soil fertility management study and their effects on cotton production.…”

“…These declines of soil major nutrients content are due to nutrient outflow through crop yields and heightened by poor soil fertility management practices indeed, organic manure and mineral fertilizers which are the main sources of compensation of nutrients outflow from the farms lands were applied at the rate of 1787.50 ± 1390.96 kg/ha for organic manure and 110 ± 25 kg/ha for NPK (14-23-15) and 52.5 ± 15 kg / ha for urea (46%). Theses application rates fertilizers are below the recommendations: 2500 kg/ha for organic manure and 1500kg and 100 kg for NPK and urea respectively [17,18]. In addition to low rate of application of organic manure, 30.5% of producers did not regularly apply organic manure to their plots for various constraints.…”
