Intended outcomes	* New and enhanced knowledge of nutrient management techniques for individual PT sweetpotato cultivars is available to farmers, as well as AR4D partners * Adoption of the improved application methods either increase storage root production per unit area in areas challenged by low soil fertility under PT technology. * The generated information contributes a component to development of farmer extension material for soil fertility management for sweetpotato farming. * Results provide a baseline for additional research and development work relating to N, and nutrient management, for alternate pathogen-tested sweetpotato cultivars. * Through on-the-job involvement, the engaged research technician has further developed his field research skills and knowledge.
Planned outputs	Information on the effects of different N application methods on the growth and development of individual PT sweetpotato cultivars. Information on seasonal differences as a result of different N application methods on the growth and development of individual PT sweetpotato cultivars.
