Indigenous knowledge of soil fertility management in the humid tropics of long time can offer many insights into the sustainable management of tropical soils1.

So important to our understanding of soil health and how to manage soils better. Those found in the southeastern United States and in the tropics, tend to have Soil Constraints and Management Package (SCAMP) Guidelines for Sustainable Management of tropical upland soils Philip W.

Maintaining the soil chemical fertility is a key prerequisite to sustain crop productivity in the tropics. Several studies perceive that soil fertility decline is widely spread in tropical regions and that it is caused inadequate nutrient replenishment and high losses as compared to natural ecosystems. Sustainable management of soil fertility is essential for future food produc- tion. Farmers Soil Scientist and AfNet Coordinator, Tropical Soil Biology and Fer-.

We are seeking an alternative technique that can be applied to the existing slash-and-burn system with minimal changes and that has the potential of being used in tree cultures as well.

The students acquire a thorough understanding of the main soil fertility constraints hampering sustainable agricultural production on tropical, weathered soils and is able to design affordable ways to counter them. The constraints include soil acidity, Al-toxicity, inadequate soil organic matter management and low intrinsic nutrient contents. Together, these factors affect biological diversity, biomass productivity, and, consequently, environmental quality [8]. Unfortunately, sustainable soil management preserving fertility is difficult in most areas of the tropics due to high temperatures and rainfall in soils derived from clastic sedimentary rocks [9].
