    Abstract

    The Sahellan zone Is characterized by harsh conditions for crop growth: chemically and physically poor soils, low and uncertain rainfall, and high temperatures. Crops are particularly sensitive to the physical environment during the germination and seedling stages of crop establishment. Appropriate soli management techniques reduce the risk for crop failure and help to ensure good crop stands.
