PROJECT CREATES, THROUGH A COORDINATED CENTRAL AMERICAN SOIL FERTILITY RESEARCH PROGRAM, A SYSTEM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING FERTILIZER-USE ALTERNATIVES WHICH ARE SUITABLE TO THE CROPPING SYSTEMS OF THE SMALL FARMER. LONG AND SHORT TERM TECHNICAL ADVISORY ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED TO UPGRADE SKILLS OF COOPERATING COUNTRIES IN: 1) DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE SOIL FERTILITY PROGRAMS; 2) DESIGNING AND MANAGING FERTILIZER RESPONSE TRIALS; 3) ANALYZING DATA RELATING CROP RESPONSE IN FIELD FERTILIZER TRIALS TO ECONOMICS OF FERTILIZER USE; 4) INITIATE EXPERIMENTATION WITH ORGANIC AND GROUND-COVER SOURCES OF PLANT NUTRIENTS.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from design document year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.

DEC topic and subject tags. They describe the documents, not what the program was. Each tag opens its evidence in the drawer.
Programs worth reading next, by topic, implementer, country and years. Similar by facets (topic, implementer, country, years) and, when available, description. It says the programs look alike, not how they are related in time. Source: catalog facets
