My home village (near #Charolles #Burgundy) was known for the production of #agriculture(al) #lime from the late XIXth century to the early 1960ies. The 7 m kilns remains & are some of the last such structures listed in #France.

Looking forward to hearing from growers on the EP about acidity and its management, and sharing some of my PhD research about lime movement as well as work done in the #acidsoilssa project to help tackle #soilacidity in #agriculture

Output from our @gatesfoundation-funded & @CIMMYT-led project on management of #AcidSoils in East #Africa.
Thank Dr Mkamilo - DG of the #Tanzania #Agriculture(al) #Research Institute - for having received us yesterday to discuss progress & way forward under our @gatesfoundation-funded & @CIMMYT-led project on #acidsoils.
Visit this afternoon of the facilities of Dodoma Cement, a supplier of #agriculture(al) lime with colleagues from the #Tanzania Agricultural #Research Institute & @SAGCOT.

However, increasing productivity in the region would require several interventions in addition (prior?) to #acidsoils management: optimum plant density, better #crop nutrition, use of adapted & high-yielding varieties, control of weeds (#striga) pests (#fallarmyworm), etc
Great 2 days in #Geita visiting on-#farm trials established by the #Tanzania #Agriculture(al) #Research Institute under the regional project on #acidsoils management funded by @gatesfoundation & led by @CIMMYT.
What a pleasure to be in the field with Dr Meliyo & team!
Great #PhD #research conducted by @DerejeTirfessa in #Ethiopia πͺπΉ under our @gatesfoundation-funded & @CIMMYT-led project #GAIA, testing different combination of lime, phosphorus & manure to improve the productivity π½π½ of #AcidSoils. Can't wait to see the #data! ππ€
