Phosphorus availability and exchangeable aluminum response to phosphate rock and organic inputs in the Central Highlands of Kenya
(Heliyon, 2021-03)
Soil acidity and phosphorus deficiency are some of the constraints hampering agricultural production in tropical
regions. The prevalence of soil acidity is associated with phosphorus (P) insufficiency and aluminum ...
Farming systems’ typologies analysis to inform agricultural greenhouse gas emissions potential from smallholder rain-fed farms in Kenya
(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 ...
Soil nutrients and crop yield response to conservation-effective management practices in the sub-humid highlands agro-ecologies of Kenya
(Heliyon, 2021)
Crop productivity in most smallholder farming systems in Sub-Saharan Africa experience low use of soil
amendment resources, low and erratic rainfall, frequent dry spells, and droughts. Rain-fed agriculture has a high
crop ...
Phosphorus availability and exchangeable aluminum response to phosphate rock and organic inputs in the Central Highlands of Kenya
(Heliyon, 2021)
Soil acidity and phosphorus deficiency are some of the constraints hampering agricultural production in tropical
regions. The prevalence of soil acidity is associated with phosphorus (P) insufficiency and aluminum ...
Suitability of different data sources in rainfall pattern characterization in the tropical central highlands of Kenya
(Heliyon, 2020-11)
Uncertainty in rainfall pattern has put rain-fed agriculture in jeopardy, even for the regions considered high rainfall potential like the Central Highlands of Kenya (CHK). The rainfall pattern in the CHK is spatially and ...
The response of soil physicochemical properties to tillage and soil fertility resources in Central Highlands of Kenya
(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 ...
