Agronomy and natural resource management Programme

This is a programme mandated to undertake soil fertility evaluation and plant nutrition assessment for soil fertility improvements and environmental conservation, undertake conservation agriculture towards increased food production and contribute to food security; undertake soil mapping for land resource inventory, evaluation and decision making and developing fertilizer recommendation packages for crops in different agro-ecologies.

The programme has been working hand in hand with different stakeholders to ensure the sustainability of climate-smart agriculture is implemented. These actions include the development of fertilizer recommendation packages, cost-effective Integrated soil fertility and weed management packages for recommendations and conducting regular soil sampling for monitoring soil health status and soil mapping for best sugarcane growing areas
