Food security, one of the basic human rights, seems to be ever
eluding the people of sub-Saharan Africa. With each occurrence of
crop failure, agriculturalists around the world reawaken to the
challenge of ensuring sta ble, adequate food production in the
tropical African environments. The International Fertilizer
Development Center (IFDC), with its mandate of alleviating food
shortages through judicial use of fertilizers, formulated a program
to study fertilizer use strategies for sub-Saharan Africa. With
gener ous financial assistance from the International Fund for
Agricultural Devel opment (IFAD), IFDC, in collaboration with the
International Crop Re search Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics
(ICRISAT) and the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture
(IIT A), initiated a research project aimed at assessing means to
remedy soil nutrient deficiencies that constrain food production in
the humid, subhumid, and semiarid tropics of Africa. The results of
this project were summarized during a workshop held in Togo, March
25-28, 1985; the proceedings of that meetings are found in this vol
ume. The project established collaboration with numerous national
programs that were responsible for much of the data collection. The
data presented in Chapters 6 and 9 include much of this
information. We wish to acknowledge the contribution of the
individual scientists, J.T. Ambe, F. Ganry, M. Gaoh, M. Issaka, J.
Kiazolu, J. Kikafunde-Twine, K. Kpomblekou, F. Lompo, H."
