Farming systems’ typologies analysis to inform agricultural greenhouse gas emissions potential from smallholder rain-fed farms in Kenya
Musafiri, Collins M.; Macharia, , Joseph M.; Ng’etich, Onesmus K.; Kiboi, Milka N.; Okeyo, Jeremiah; Shisanya, Chris A.; Okwuosa, , Elizabeth A.; Mugendi, Daniel N.; Ngetich, Felix K. (Elsevier B.V, 2020)Most sub-Saharan Africa smallholder farming systems are highly heterogeneous. Direct quantification of greenhouse gas emissions from these farming systems is hampered by di- versity at farm-level. Each farm contributes ... -
Planting Pits’ Effects on Soil Nutrients in a Sorghum and Pigeon Pea Rotation in Semi-arid Areas of Eastern Kenya
Yegon, Rebecca; Mtakwa, Peter W.; Mrema, Geoffrey C.; Ngetich, Felix K. (Science Domain International, 2016-12)Planting pits are rain water harvesting structures that trap water and nutrients in surface runoff and rain water falling directly into the pits. Planting pits have been promoted for improving crop yields without considering ... -
The response of soil physicochemical properties to tillage and soil fertility resources in Central Highlands of Kenya
Kiboi, Milka N.; Muriuki, Anne; Ngetich, Felix K.; Adamtey, Noah; Mugendi, Daniel N. (Pagepress, 2020)To attain agricultural sustainability, use of soil resources and tillage requires equal consideration for chemical and physical components of soil fertility. We assessed responses of selected soil physical and chemical ... -
Soil Greenhouse Gas Fluxes From Maize Production Under Different Soil Fertility Management Practices in East Africa
Macharia, Joseph M.; Pelster, David E.; Ngetich, Felix K.; Shisanya, Chris A.; Mucheru-Muna, Monicah; Mugendi, Daniel N. (2020-06)In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), few studies have quantified greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions following application of soil amendments, for development of accurate national GHG inventories. Therefore, this study quantified soil ...
