Abstract

Lixisols in sub-Saharan Africa are known to be deficient in nutrients and organic matter and therefore long-term studies could provide appropriate solutions for their better management. This study was conducted at the long-term field trial of Saria established since 1960 in the Centre West region of Burkina Faso. In plots where sorghum and cowpea were grown in rotation, we assessed the effects of long term organic and mineral fertilization on soil carbon and nutrient dynamics. The soil chemical properties, namely total C, N, P and pH, were measured along the profile down to 40 cm. We calculated available P stocks for the 40-60, 60-80 and 80-100 cm horizons and N and P balances for two cropping seasons. With an application of 40 t ha^-1 of manure every second year, soil carbon stock was maintained but the risk of P losses was high (about 50 kg ha^-1 of available P found in the 80-100 cm horizon). In the contrast 5 tha^-1 of manure every second year did not maintain soil carbon stock but led to low amount of P in the horizon 80-100 cm (< 10 kg ha^-1). When water soluble mineral fertilizer was applied solely, the uptake of P and K was more with cowpea than with sorghum, leading to a negative K budget. On the contrary when manure was added, the uptake of P and K was more with sorghum than with cowpea and their budgets were positives.
