Phosphorus – West Africa
Mueller et al. 2012; Nature;490;7419;254-257
Fertilizer Input
West Africa
• Highly weathered soils, low pH, low soil organic matter and high P fixation
• most smallholder farmers fields show very low levels of plant available soil P (<6ppm Bray-1 P) • fields, which are cropped by women show generally even lower values (<3ppm Bray-1 P)

Conclusions
• Large impact of P on sorghum growth
• General good adaptation of West African sorghum to low P soils
• Direct selection in low P necessary and feasible
• Landraces very valuable source germplasm
• No single mechanism identified for P-efficiency
• Al-tolerance and P-efficiency possibly controlled by same gene SbMATE pleiotropy
• PSTOL1 homologs of rice involved in P-adaptation in sorghum; similar mechanism
