Crop Responses to Fertilizers and Manures in East Africa

Abstract

The papers and discussion summarized in the following pages are the record of a considerable amount of work that has been brought together and examined by a committee of specialists from territorial and interterritorial centres. The members of the committee themselves prepared the 22 papers, which they critically discussed at a two-day meeting held at the Headquarters of the East African Agriculture and Forestry Research Organization in February, 1953. In all, 30 attended the conference including, besides the paper-readers and observers, Drr E. M. Crowther, Deputy Director, Rothamsted Experimental Station, and Professor Matthias Stelly of the University of Georgia, U.S.A.
