- W2328785569 abstract "National outputs of cocoa beans in Ghana has seen appreci able increases in the last six years due in part to pragmatic policies including the national control of pests and diseases on all cocoa farms, the increased use of fertilizers on farmers’ farms and increase in the producer price paid to farmers. However, productivity on farmers’ farms remains low at 400 kg/ha against potential yield of over 2.5 tonnes per hectare. The continuous mining of inherent fertility of cocoa soils without replenishment has been identified as major cause of the low productivity of cocoa farms. Using structured survey instruments, this study sought to identify farmer soil fertility management practices that enhances yield and which could be improved by way of research outcomes. A total of 150 farmers from three districts in the Eastern region were randomly selected and interviewed on one-on-one basis between July and October 2008. Farmers’ soil fertility management practices included chemical and organic fertilizer application, control of erosion and mulching. Farmers who are members of farmers’ associations had better access to fertilizers and also applied the fertilizers correctly and at the right time. The effectiveness of fertilizer application was dependent on effective control of blackpod disease, capsids and judicious pruning and shade management. The findings imply that intensive education of farmers on the need to carry out recommended husbandry practices was critical if soil fertility management strategies are to be translated into improved on-farm productivity." @default.
