	RedOrbit - Science - Soil Fertility Management Strategies on the Jos Plateau: the Need for Integrating 'Empirical' and ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Research carried out in the late 1980s-early 1990s on the Jos Plateau, Nigeria (Figure 1) fitted into this change in thinking, as it examined how the knowledge and management of soil fertility by local farmers could be integrated in the development of a viable strategy for the maintenance of soil fertility (Phillips-Howard and Kidd 1991).
		However, this was not logistically possible in Jos (Pasquini 2002), so, at this stage, the explanations on the modes of action of ash have to rely on combining information on the general nutrient characteristics of ash with farmers' explanations and information from other published studies.
		The large-scale use of town waste as a source of ash is probably a relatively recent development that arose in the peri-urban areas in the late 1970s or early 1980s (the practice was certainly witnessed in 1982 in Rayfield by one of the authors).
