Adapting African Agriculture to Climate Change
Kisaka, Oscar M.; Mucheru-Muna, M.; Ngetich, F.K.; Mugwe, Jayne; Mugendi, Daniel N.; Mairura, F. (Springer, 2015)Drier parts of Embu County, Eastern Kenya, endure persistent crop failure and declining agricultural productivity which have been attributed, in part, to prolonged dry-spells and erratic rainfall. Nonetheless, understanding ... -
Potential of deterministic and geostatistical rainfall interpolation under high rainfall variability and dry spells: case of Kenya’s Central Highlands
Kisaka, Oscar M.; Mucheru-Muna, Monicah; Ngetich, F.K.; Mugwe, Jayne (Springer Vienna, 2015-03)Drier parts of Kenya’s Central Highlands endure persistent crop failure and declining agricultural productivity. These have, in part, attributed to high temperatures, prolonged dry spells and erratic rainfall. Understanding ... -

Rainfall Variability, Drought Characterization, and Efficacy of Rainfall Data Reconstruction: Case of Eastern Kenya
Kisaka, Oscar M.; Mucheru-Muna, Monicah; Ngetich, F.K.; Mugwe, Jayne; Mugendi, Daniel N.; Mairura, F. (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014-08)This study examined the extent of seasonal rainfall variability, drought occurrence, and the efficacy of interpolation techniques in eastern Kenya. Analyses of rainfall variability utilized rainfall anomaly index, coefficients ... -

Using Apsim-Model as A Decision-Support-Tool for Long-Term Integrated-Nitrogen-Management and Maize productivity under Semi-Arid Conditions in Kenya
Kisaka, Oscar M.; Mucheru-Muna, M.; Ngetich, F.K.; Mugwe, Jayne; Mugendi, Daniel N.; Mairura, F.; Muriuki, J. (Cambridge University Press, 2015-04)There is continued decline in per capita agricultural productivity in the drier parts of Kenya’s central highlands. The declines have been linked to low and declining soil fertility, soil water, high atmospheric heat, ...
