Fertilizer microdosing (FM) is a technique that applies small amounts of fertilizer directly to the planting hole. This method has shown significant yield increases for cereals such as sorghum, millet, and maize across various regions in Sudano-Sahelian West Africa (SSWA). Despite its proven benefits, adoption remains low due to financial and labour constraints. This blog outlines the benefits, challenges, and recommendations to enhance the adoption of FM to improve food security and reduce poverty in the region.
