Intensive cotton growing, the end of fallow land and heavy rainfall are leading to erosion and the loss of soil organic matter. To address these soil fertility issues, Cirad, in partnership with Ivoire Coton and Fert, has set up a long-term trial over 3 hectares at a farmer&#8217;s home in M&#8217;Bengue (Savanes) as part of the Mecawat project in 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/main><!-- close content main element --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_2'  class='avia-section
