Development and Dissemination of 4R Nutrient Stewardship Knowledge to Support Crop Production Intensification

The objective of the project is to develop a Nutrient Expert® (NE) tool for Moroccan farmers and extension specialists to implement appropriate nutrient management practices for wheat production. In the 2014/2015 cropping season, omission nutrient trials were established in four regions of Morocco: Abda (semi-arid region), Chaouia (intermediate semi-arid region), Fez (favorable rainfall area) and Tadla (irrigated area).

The objective of the project is to develop a Nutrient Expert® (NE) tool for Moroccan farmers and extension specialists to implement appropriate nutrient management practices for wheat production. In order to initiate this type of experiment at a farm scale, on-farm experiments were established in 2013 within the semi-arid rainfed wheat production systems of the Chaouia region.

On-farm experiments were established in 2013 under semi-arid rainfed wheat production systems in the Chaouia region. Six experimental treatments were established at five locations - three sites in Settat province and two sites in Berrechid province.
