The Importance of Liming Acid Soils of the Sahel Regions of Africa to Sustain High Crop Productivity—a Case Study from the Republic of Cameroon
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 October 2008
Summary
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) has very great economic importance in Cameroon. In pot experiments, groundnut yields on highly acidified but limed soil were 50% greater than those on unlimed soil. These results demonstrate that severely acidified soils of the western highlands of Cameroon should be limed at moderate rates to sustain crop productivity.
