| Risks related to the purchase of inputs (fertilizer) |
|
Jens Aune (Noragric) | 29.01.2007
Access to inputs remains a problem for intensification of agriculture in the Sahel. It can be risky for farmers to purchase large quantities of fertilizer prior to a drought year. The seasonal rainfall forecasts by AGRHYMET may help farmers make appropriate decisions concerning the purchase of fertilizer. If there is a high probability that the year will have a deficit in rainfall, farmers could only purchase the fertilizer quantities necessary for the application of the method of 0.3 g of fertilizer per pocket.
