^‡The dominant soil types are strictly based on the harmonized soil atlas of Africa following the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB) classification and correlation system. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) class equivalents are: Acrisols = Ultisols; Cambisols = Inceptisols; Ferralsols = Oxisols; Leptosols = Entisols; Lixisols = Alfisols; Nitisols = Alfisols.

^†Full and Half represent the recommended and half or less than half of the recommended N and P fertilizer dosages.
