Potential of termite mounds and its surrounding soils as soil amendments in smallholder farms in central Uganda

OBJECTIVES: The low fertility of highly weathered soils has been a major problem for resource-constrained smallholder farmers. In central Uganda, smallholder farmers have been collecting termite mound soils anywhere around the termite mound to improve their soil fertility. However, no studies have b...
