Abstract :
[en] The fertilizer micro dosing technique consists to put at the sowing or after plants emergence, small quantities of appropriate mineral fertilizers in crop planting holes. This study examines the impact of fertilizer micro dosing technique on agricultural farms based on millet and sorghum in Mali. The techniques of micro-dosing used were manual and mechanical fertilizers distribution. Data were collected during two successive campaigns, 2014 and 2015. A sample of 108 farms was selected randomly from a total of 360 farms having served as diagnostics on cropping systems. The Semi-Structured Interviews (SSI) was used as tools. Descriptive statistics and analytical methods were used to analyze data’s with STATA software. The results showed that the use of fertilizer micro dosing technique has a significant impact on millet and sorghum productivity and ensures the self-supply of cereals for adopting farms.
