23 (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Response to P on Filsan mungbean

24 (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Similar Experience in the Sahelian Region  44 to 120% yield increase for sorghum and millet Reported by ICRISAT

25 (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Why P is not available to plants in the Bay Region soils? High soil pH 8.0 to 8.3

26 (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Why P is not available to plants in the Bay Region soils? The soil pH range at which maximum P availability occurs is between 6.0 and 7.0 The soil pH range at which maximum P availability occurs is between 6.0 and 7.0 In the Bay Region, the soils are alkaline and have a pH ranging from of 8.0 to 8.5 In the Bay Region, the soils are alkaline and have a pH ranging from of 8.0 to 8.5 Soils with a pH of 7.5 and higher typically have a high calcium concentration that binds P as calcium-phosphate creating an insoluble compound that is not available to plants Soils with a pH of 7.5 and higher typically have a high calcium concentration that binds P as calcium-phosphate creating an insoluble compound that is not available to plants Therefore, it is necessary to amend agricultural soils in the Bay Region with available forms of P at the correct agronomic rate Therefore, it is necessary to amend agricultural soils in the Bay Region with available forms of P at the correct agronomic rate

27 (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Relationship between soil PH and Phosphorous availability

28 (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group RECOMMENDATION Would P-Aid be a potential solution? It is an established fact that P is a yield limiting factor in the Bay Region It is an established fact that P is a yield limiting factor in the Bay Region The data clearly show that P-application can double/triple yield The data clearly show that P-application can double/triple yield P application establishes a good root system which is important for the dryland crops. P application establishes a good root system which is important for the dryland crops. SATG is seriously considering to develop a concept note where food aid is gradually replaced with P-Aid in the Bay Region SATG is seriously considering to develop a concept note where food aid is gradually replaced with P-Aid in the Bay Region
