corn (Zea mays)
rice (Oryza sativa)
sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)
millet (Pennisetum glaucum)
oat (Avena sativa)
rye (Secale cereale)

Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency for
Cereal Production Agron. J. 91:357-363
(pdf)
Objectives: To document cereal N use efficiency
in SSA, and to delineate potential needs for improving NUE and
production.
Issues: Climatic regions, NUE in the 10
poorest, versus rest of SSA.
Only inorganic versus organic?
"discuss organic N additions" that would not be
included in our computations.
