Sorghum thrives over corn in Uganda, challenging traditional farming practices.
The study compared how corn and sorghum respond to nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers in Uganda. Corn generally produced more yield and responded better to fertilizer than sorghum. However, there was a surprising negative interaction between nitrogen and phosphorus for sorghum. This suggests that sorghum may be better suited to low soil fertility in Uganda compared to corn, but more evidence is needed to confirm this.
