Effects of selected soil and water conservation technologies on nutrient losses and maize yields in the central highlands of Kenya

Mucheru-Muna, M.; Okeyo, A. I.; Mugwe, J. N.; Ngetich, K. F.; Mugendi, D.N.; Diels, J.; Shisanya, C.A. (Elsevier Masson, 2014-05)

Mitigating nutrient loss is a prerequisite of sustainable agriculture in the tropics. We evaluated three soil and water conservation technologies (mulching, minimum tillage and tied ridging) for two cropping seasons (long ...

Length of growing season, rainfall temporal distribution, onset and cessation dates in the Kenyan highlands

Mucheru-Muna, M.; Ngetich, K. F.; Mugwe, J. N.; Shisanya, C.A.; Diels, J.; Mugendi, D.N. (Elsevier Masson, 2014-05)

Dependence on uncertain rainfall and exposure to unmitigated climate risk are major obstacles in efforts to sustainably intensify agricultural production and enhance rural livelihoods. There is generally enough seasonal ...

Effect of Delayed Cassava Planting on Yields and Economic Returns of a Cassava-Groundnut Intercrop in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Mucheru-Muna, M.; Shisanya, C.A. (Science and Education Publishing, 2014)

Cassava intercropping is a common practice in sub-Saharan Africa. In terms of growth pattern, canopy development and nutrient demand, grain legumes are well suited for intercropping with cassava. Due to the inter-specific ...

Effects of selected soil and water conservation techniques on runoff, sediment yield and maize productivity under sub-humid and semi-arid conditions in Kenya

Mugwe, J. N.; Ngetich, K. F.; Shisanya, C.A.; Mucheru-Muna, M.; Mugendi, D.N. (Elsevier, 2014)

The aim of this work is to investigate the consequences of selected soil and water conservation techniques and tillage practices on runoff amounts, sediment yield and maize yields under semi-arid and sub-humid environments. ...
