We're also working with some of our collaborators to get oyster shells processed and distributed to the farmers ASAP. You can see there is an abundance, and the biggest limitation is not access to the oyster shells, but rather the sheer amount and getting them processed efficiently. We're hoping to have some additional updates about our study plots in the near future, so keep an eye out for additiona updates soon!
Agricultural soils in The Gambia, West Africa, are highly acidic, which greatly reduces plant growth and ultimately crop yield. The common method of increasing agricultural pH- limestone- is not widely available in The Gambia. However, oyster shells, which have the same property to increase soil pH are widely available, but not currently used. This study looks to investigate the rate of application of oyster shells needed to raise pH to optimal levels for the staple crop groundnut (peanut)
