Effect of intercropping on crop mineral composition along soil fertility gradients in Zimbabwe (Soil2Crop)

The objectives of the project are to investigate crop mineral content (micronutrients) in maize-cowpea intercropping systems or in sole crops in a sub-humid region of Zimbabwe, and along soil fertility gradients (homefield vs out fields) (2017-2019).
