Microbial phosphorus (P) immobilization is a hidden challenge in most parts of sub-Saharan Africa. It affects crop establishment, growth, and response to mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizer application that ultimately reduces crop yields. This research highlighted that split application of N in combination with a medium rate (7 t ha-1) cattle manure and P fertilizer (>36 kg P ha-1) (an intensification pathway) reduced microbial immobilization and increased P uptake subsequently increasing root biomass productivity.
