Mechanisms for nutrient interactions from organic amendments and mineral fertilizer inputs under cropping systems: a review.

ABSTRACT: Food security issues continue to be a challenge in most parts of the globe, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Several research attempts on addressing this issue have mainly been on nutrient replenishment using combined nutrient application of organic amendments and mineral fertilizer inputs. However, there is limited information available on the potential mechanisms underlying nutrient interactions associated with co-application of organic amendments and mineral fertilizers. Therefore, this review focuses on the mechanisms underlying crop nutrient interactions, with particular emphasis on improved nutrient synchrony, priming effect, general soil fertility improvement and balanced proportion of nutrients required by crops. Following a brief overview of the mechanisms, the review descr
