Description CONTEXT: The implementation of integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) varies widely among farmers, from no ISFM to multiple computations of ISFM components (i.e., improved germplasm, organic resources, fertilizers, and local adaptations e.g., soil and water conservation (SWC)). There is no comprehensive report on farmers' use of ISFM components and their impact on sustainable intensification domains of productivity, economic, social, human condition, and environment and the associated variations across farmer fields and agroecological zones (AEZs).
OBJECTIVE: This study 1) evaluated the current implementation status of ISFM by farmers in relation to the
various ISFM components and 2) provided multi-dimensional multi-scale evidence of ISFM implications that can guide ISFM investments within SSA contexts, with a specific focus on Tanzania.
METHODS: We used data collected from 1406 plots between 2013 and 2020 in semi-arid and sub-humid AEZs.
The data are from farmer practices. The plots were grouped by the various combinations of ISFM components
