To address the low inherent soil fertility and in response to the limitations of conventional soil fertility management recommendations, fertilizer microdosing have been developed and widely advocated in recent years in the Sahel. However, little is known regarding the performance of this technology on maize in general and particularly in Benin. For this purpose, 20 farmer demonstrations in 4 villages were set-up across the 2014 growing season in the Ina region, Northern Benin
