Description :
Microscale variations of soil properties may have a pronounced impact on crop yields in the low external input agriculture in the Sahel. As a preliminary step in analysing the effects of soil microvariability on millet growth, the objectives of this study were to analyse the extent of variation and elucidate patterns of spatial microvariability of pH on a millet field test plot on a clayey soil using classical statistics and geostatistics.
