Conservation tillage, local organic resources and nitrogen fertilizer combinations affect maize productivity, soil structure and nutrient balances in semi-arid Kenya
(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 ...
Effects of organic and mineral fertilizer inputs on maize yield and soil chemical properties in a maize cropping system in Meru South District, Kenya
(Springer, 2007-01)
Soil nutrient depletion as a result of
continuous cultivation of soils without adequate
addition of external inputs is a major challenge in
the highlands of Kenya. An experiment was set
up in Meru South District, Kenya ...
Nitrogen fertilizer equivalencies of organics of differing quality and optimum combination with inorganic nitrogen source in Central Kenya
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2004)
Decline in crop yields is a major problem facing smallholder farmers in Kenya and the entire Sub-Saharan region. This is attributed mainly to the mining of major nutrients due to continuous cropping without addition of ...
