#short description
A farm survey (n=90) on input use and soil fertility management practices was conducted from November 2019 to January 2020 in Birere and Rugaaga sub-counties, Uganda. Farms were selected using random stratified sampling. The household survey covered general household characteristics and detailed soil fertility management practices for each banana field managed by the household, such as input types and costs, quantities and frequency of application. All banana fields were visited and measured using a handheld GPS device.
