WEST 1.2 | Which statement best represents your views on the use of fertilizer in Banana Plantations?
Background
With continuous cultivation, soil fertility is bound to decline. Uganda has one of the highest soil nutrient depletion rates in the world. Less nutrients in the soil lead to poor harvests. By adding fertilizer, nutrients can be added to the soil. Uganda has one of the lowest rates of annual inorganic fertilizer application – only 3.3 kg per hectare (2018). Research has shown that adding fertilizer can significantly improve the yield of crops. However, many Ugandan farmers are reluctant to use inorganic fertilizers.
