Also from RAIZ project: several colleagues from the RAIZ project attended an international conference about long-term experiments in agronomy, organized by Rothamsted Research, UK, in June 2023 (https://www.aab.org.uk/event/long-term-experiments-meeting-future-challenges/).
Souleymane DIOP, a PhD student co-funded by the RAIZ project gave a talk in session Seven « Responses to Weather and Climate Change » about his work on CIMMYT long-term experiments on conservation agriculture in Zimbabwe: « Climatic effect of no-tillage and mulch due to albedo change differs with soil type: a field study in Zimbabwe ». Dr. Rémi Cardinael (Cirad, https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Remi-Cardinael) gave a talk in session one « Sustaining Cropping Systems » to present a recent publication « Sustaining maize yields and Soil Carbon following land clearing in the forest–savannah transition zone of West Africa: Results from a 20-year experiment » (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378429021002811).
Other contributions from RAIZ included a poster about a new experiment in Zimbabwe: « A new long-term experiment to explore the impact of rainfall extremes on the agronomic and environmental performances of cropping systems in the sub-humid tropics » and an online talk about a study involving several scientists from the RAIZ project: « A comparison of 16 soil-crop models using four-term experiments in sub-Saharan Africa to guide improvement ».
