Intended outcomes 1. Increased knowledge of the viability of a PNG Made agriculture product using sound scientific methods. 2. Enhanced knowledge of the performance of conventional fertilizer management practices and locally produced fertilizers to manage production and quality of horticultural crops. 3. Promote the marketability of a PNG Made product. 4. Capacity building in research and analytical skills involving interactions in the soil-plant ecosystems for researchers directly involved in the project.
Planned outputs 1. GHFF’s ability to improve crop productivity and quality compared to locally available conventional fertilizers is scientifically validated. 2. Economic benefit of the use of GHFF and other locally available fertilizers for smallholder farmers’ use is determined.
