Presents a thesis examining the approaches used to generate sustainable soil management in rice cultivation systems. The thesis outlines the effects of structural adjustment programmes on agricultural development in the country by comparing pre-reform and post-independence periods and monitoring the trends in per capita production of major food and cash crops. The farming systems practiced are examined detailing indigenous water harvesting systems, land preparation, rice cultivators, weeding and harvesting among other processes. The constraints faced by the farmers are also discussed along with details on how to calculate soil fertility.
