Soil analysis from Alatsinainy Bakaro research station

Main characteristics pH: 3.75 → highly acidic soil Nitrogen (N): extremely low Phosphorus (P): high but largely unavailable because of soil acidity Potassium (K): moderate level This soil can become productive, but correcting acidity is the first and most urgent priority before planting.

Soil analysis from Ambohitrony research station

Main characteristics pH: 3.98 → highly acidic soil Mineral nitrogen: high Phosphorus: high Potassium: moderate The soil has already good nutrient potential, but high acidity reduces plant access to nutrients.

Comparative Evaluation of Different Planting Densities on Productivity and Agronomic Performance of Green Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Comparing productivity of potato cultivation under four fertilization treatments

A field experiment was conducted to compare the productivity and economic returns of potato cultivation under four fertilization treatments: cow dung alone, crushed zebu bones, crushed zebu horn mixed with cow dung, and chemical NPK fertilizer.

Results of Soil analysis from Mangamila research station

The Mangamila soil is a highly acidic ferralitic soil (pH 5), low in nitrogen and potassium, requiring urgent pH correction before any carrot cultivation can be attempted.
