Influence of integrated soil fertility management on the vegetative growth parameters of zea mays in the Guinea savanna eco-zone of Ghana
All over the world, attention has been drawn to the use of eco-friendly biochar application to improve crop productivity. In Ghana, there are available potential feedstocks left unused and can be used for the production of biochar. -
Spatial prediction of soil organic carbon stocks in Ghana using legacy data
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a major driver of the multiple functions of soils in the delivery of ecosystem services. While the spatial prediction and mapping of SOC stocks are of key importance for land managers to understand the synergies between SOC management and soil health, a spatially-explicit map of the distribution of SOC stocks in Ghana is non-existent. -
Land Suitability Assessment and Landuse Planning: A Prerequisite for Food Security and Climate Change Adaptation
Though Ghana’s crop yield growth rate was at 17%, 5% of every 1.2 million Ghanaians have insufficient and limited access to nutritious food. Climate change and climate variability have enormously affected the state of agricultural productivity and hence could result in food insecurity. As many ongoing projects use Boolean suitability analysis, land use planning, management recommendations sores, it still remains inadequate to support rural resource poor farmers. This then, is affecting livelihood and agricultural productivity. In this paper, a geostatistical quantitative method to support a geographic information system (GIS) based on multi-criteria decision support system (GMCDSS) for an enhanced land suitability assessment (LSA) and landuse planning (LP) was devised. -
