The effect of minjingu phosphate rock and triple superphosphate on soil phosphorus fractions and maize yield in Western Kenya
(Hindawi, 2014)
We tested the effects of triple superphosphate (TSP) and Minjingu phosphate rock (MPR), when applied at phosphorus (P) rates of 50 or 250 kg P ha−1 in a factorial combination with urea or Tithonia diversifolia green manure ...
An agronomic and economic evaluation of integrated use of Calliandra callothyrsus and maize stover with urea in western Kenya
(2014)
The agronomic effectiveness of integrating organic and inorganic nutrient sources has been demonstrated in Kenya but economic analysis is often lacking in such studies thus denying farmers the ...
Symbiotic efficiency of native rhizobia nodulating common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in soils of Western Kenya
(Hindawi, 2014)
This study was conducted to determine the abundance and symbiotic efficiency of native rhizobia nodulating common bean in Kisumu and Kakamega, Kenya. Soil sampling was carried out in three farms that had been used for ...
Response of Maize to Organic and Inorganic Sources of Nutrients in Acid Soils of Kenya
(2014-02-25)
Maize yield in Kericho County, Kenya is limited by infertile acidic soils. The effect of inorganic sources of nutrients and amendments; triple superphosphate (TSP), calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) and lime, were compared ...
Recent advances towards understanding and managing Kenyan acid soils for improved crop production
(African Journal of Agricultural Reseach, 2014-06-18)
This review focused on the efforts made to understand and manage Kenyan acid soils by use of inorganic, organic materials (OMs) and crop germplasms tolerant to soil aluminium (Al) toxicity and/or low soil available phosphorus ...
