In the commune of Bagassi, 221 kilometers west of Ouagadougou, a trial is underway to measure the impact of Barbary Plante technology on tomato cultivation. The experiment consisted of 16 individual plots, organized into 4 replicates and 4 different treatments groups. These groups include a control plot with no treatment, a plot receiving the recommended dose of Barbary Plante, a plot receiving 75% of the recommended dose, and a plot fertilized with the NPK mineral fertilizer used during the dry season. Each plot is planted with 32 tomato plants arranged with a space of 50 cm between plants within each rw and 80 cm between rows. The objective is to compare the performance of the different practices in terms of plant growth, soil fertility, and water management. Nurseries were established, some with Barbary Plante and others without, to observe the differences from the outset. #SoilValuesProgram #SoilHealth #SoilFertility #Sahel #Africa #NetherlandsPrograms
