What is it about?
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench) is a staple food in Africa, South Asia and Central America. In Cameroon, it is the main food of the population of the Sudano-Sahelian zone. Its production could decline by up to 20% by the middle of the century, due to climatic disturbances. This climatic disturbance in Cameroon has led to several consequences among which, low crop yields.

Why is it important?
Our findings show that the biological fixation of nitrogen by beans improved significantly the growth and the yield of Sorghum compared to chemical fertilizers. So, it is the fertilizer system to recommend not only because of the highest sorghum grain yield, but also its ability to protect the environment.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors. The promotion and extension of organic fertilizers is essential for the sustainability of production systems in sub-Saharan Africa.
