5 Preface Long-term experiments (LTE) play an important role in understanding the effects of land management on soil fertility, sustainability of yield or wider environmental issues. It may take decades to reveal an ongoing negative trend of depletion of a soil s productivity. Similarly, it can take an equally long time to rehabilitate and restore productivity of land. Monitoring such changes can only be achieved if long term experiments that are systematically managed without compromising their scientific integrity existed. The Classical LTEs at Rothamsted Research in the UK are among the oldest existing agronomic experiments in the world dating back to Other old LTE include the Morrow Plots, located at the University of Illinois in the US, which were established in Countries such as Sweden have had LTE since 1930s and 1950s. Only a handful LTE have been established and maintained to date in Sub- Saharan Africa (SSA). Where such LTE exist, data from such experiments are scattered, difficult to access and have remained unpublished. The experiments continue to suffer from inconsistency in management as well as poor funding. Despite these limitations, there exist some potential LTE from which lessons on changes in soil properties and crop productivity can be assessed. The Samaru, Zaria experiment in Nigeria, established in 1950 and the Saria experiment in Burkina Faso, established in 1960 are among the oldest soil fertility experiment in Africa. Other experiments are the Long Term Experiment at the National Agriculture Research Laboratories (NARL), Kabete, Kenya established in Most other experiments are of intermediate age ranging from 5-10 years. The LTE in Africa have been established in a wide range of agroecological zones (AEZ) ranging from the tropical humid to the arid and semi arid regions. These AEZ are characterized by a wide range of soil types. Most experiments have targeted the main cereal (maize, millet, sorghum, rice) and legume (beans, cowpea, groundnuts, pigeon pea) crops in the respective regions. The experiments cover a wide range of integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) technologies such as efficient use of inorganic fertilizer, combining organic and inorganic nutrient sources, integration of legumes in cropping systems, use of manure and crop residues, use of rock phosphate and other soil amendments, soil and water conservation v
6 vi Preface among others. Beyond responding to technical and biophysical components of the experiments, effort has been made to understand the socio-economic conditions under which the promising technologies can be widely adopted. This book gives an evaluation of experiences from selected LTE in East South and West Africa. The first chapter presents an overview and justification for LTE using lessons from selected experiments. The second, sixth, eighth, ninth and tenth chapters give an in-depth account of crop management practices and soil fertility interventions in long-term trials within specific agro-ecological zones in West Africa. The rest of the chapters (chapter three, four, five and seven) address crop management, tillage practices and, organic and inorganic fertilizer applications in the context of long-term experiments in specific agro-ecological zones in East Africa. It is our hope that the lessons from these experiments will elicit revived interest in LTE in Africa not only for their scientific wealth but for promoting sustainable land use management practices that will cushion farmers against emerging global environmental changes.
