The appraisal of pedotransfer functions with legacy data; an example from southern Africa (2023)
Journal Article
Miti, C., Mbanyele, V., Mtangadura, T., Magwero, N., Namaona, W., Njira, K., …Lark, R. M. (2023). The appraisal of pedotransfer functions with legacy data; an example from southern Africa. Geoderma, 439, Article 116661. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2023.116661

Predictions of soil hydraulic properties by pedotransfer functions (PTFs) must be treated with caution when they are used in an application domain which differs from the domain of their original development and calibration. However, in some settings,... Read More about The appraisal of pedotransfer functions with legacy data; an example from southern Africa.

Genotypic Response of Finger Millet to Zinc and Iron Agronomic Biofortification, Location and Slope Position towards Yield (2023)
Journal Article
Teklu, D., Gashu, D., Joy, E. J., Lark, R. M., Bailey, E. H., Wilson, L., …Broadley, M. R. (2023). Genotypic Response of Finger Millet to Zinc and Iron Agronomic Biofortification, Location and Slope Position towards Yield. Agronomy, 13(6), Article 1452. https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy13061452

The present study aimed to investigate the influence of genotypic differences on responses to zinc and iron agronomic biofortification among yields of finger millet. A field experiment was conducted over two seasons in farmers’ fields in Ethiopia (20...

Impact of zinc and iron agronomic biofortification on grain mineral concentration of finger millet varieties as affected by location and slope (2023)
Journal Article
Teklu, D., Gashu, D., Joy, E. J. M., Lark, R. M., Bailey, E. H., Wilson, L., …Broadley, M. R. (2023). Impact of zinc and iron agronomic biofortification on grain mineral concentration of finger millet varieties as affected by location and slope. Frontiers in Nutrition, 10, Article 1159833. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2023.1159833

Background: Food crop micronutrient concentrations can be enhanced through agronomic biofortification, with the potential to reduce micronutrient deficiencies among rural population if they have access to fertilizers. Here we reported the impact of a... Read More about Impact of zinc and iron agronomic biofortification on grain mineral concentration of finger millet varieties as affected by location and slope.

Evaluating the accuracy and usefulness of commercially-available proximal soil mapping services for grassland nutrient management planning and soil health monitoring (2023)
Journal Article
Rhymes, J., Chadwick, D. R., Williams, A. P., Harris, I. M., Lark, R. M., & Jones, D. L. (2023). Evaluating the accuracy and usefulness of commercially-available proximal soil mapping services for grassland nutrient management planning and soil health monitoring. Precision Agriculture, 24, 898–920. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11119-022-09979-z

Grasslands play an important role in global food security. However, there are increasing pressures to improve the sustainability of ruminant farming. Precision nutrient management tools (e.g., proximal soil sensors for soil mapping) offer opportuniti...
