Proceedings of the KARI-NARL-Fertilizer Use Recommendation Project Proceedings Training Workshop 1995

Abstract

In 1995, a training workshop was convened by the Fertilizer use Recommendation Project (PURP) at the National Agricultural Research Laboratories (NARL) Kabele. It was held on the 8th and 9th February 1995 in the NARL, Conference room. The aim of this workshop was to inform and discuss with participants, the plans of the Fertilizer Use Recommendation Project within the Second National workshop was to inform and discuss with participants the plans of the Fertilizer Use Recommendation Project within the Second National Agricultural Research Programme (NAHP I I) (1995 - 1999). In 1994, FURP published site and crop specific fertilizer recommendations based on research findings from the fertilizer trials conducted by the project in the high and medium rainfall areas since 1987. The results which were published in districtwise fertilizer recommendation brochures, were circulated to the Fertilizer Extension Project (FEP) and the extension service of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock Development and marketing (MALDM) for verification. The first results obtained from on-farm verification/demonstration trials using FURP data were presented by FEP in the workshop. A background highlighting the project purpose, organisation and activities of FEP was also given.
