Soil amendment options were evaluated, using a stochastic efficiency framework. Dominance analyses showed that in the presence of annual applications of 30 kg N ha−1 and 30 kg K ha−1, efficient soil amendment options comprise of either the annual application of 8.7 kg P ha−1 in the form of single superphosphates in combination with 5 tonnes manure ha−1 applied every three years or the annual application of 17.5 kg P ha−1 in the form of single superphosphates. Choice between these two efficient options depends on the availability of manure, deficiencies in sandy soils and farmer resource endowments.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Soil</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Soil Science</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">1992-10</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Kluwer Academic Publishers</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
