A woman applies fertilizer on a maize crop in Kenya. Fertilizer is expensive in sub-Saharan Africa. Many smallholders farmers can only afford to apply a little fertilizer on their farms. The IMAS project is breeding maize varieties that respond better to the small amounts of fertilizer that farmers apply.
