Conservation tillage, local organic resources and nitrogen fertilizer combinations affect maize productivity, soil structure and nutrient balances in semi-arid Kenya
Kihara, J.; Bationo, A.; Mugendi, Daniel N.; Martius, C.; Vlek, P.L. (Springer, 2011-01)Smallholder land productivity in drylands can be increased by optimizing locally available resources, through nutrient enhancement and water conservation. In this study, we investigated the effect of tillage system, organic ... -
Effect of Reduced Tillage and Mineral Fertilizer Application on Maize and Soybean Productivity
Kihara, Jimmy H.; Bationo, A.; Waswa, B.; Kimetu, J.M.; Vanlauwe, B.; Okeyo, J.; Mukalama, J.; Martius, C. (2012)Reduced tillage is said to be one of the potential ways to reverse land degradation and ultimately increase the productivity of degrading soils of Africa. We hypothesised that crop yield following a modest application of ...
