      Nitrogen recovery by alley-cropped maize and trees from 15N-labeled tree biomass in the subhumid highlands of Kenya 

      Mugendi, D.N.; Nair, P. K. R.; Graetz, D. A.; Mugwe, J. N.; O'Neill, M. K. (Springer-Verlag, 2000-05)
      The effectiveness of tree-leaf biomass as a source of N to crops in agroforestry systems depends on the rate at which crops can obtain N from the biomass. A study was conducted to determine the fate of 15N labeled, ...

      Phenotypic nutrient up-take differences in an alley cropping system in semi-arid Machakos, Kenya 

      Mugendi, D.N. (IOS Press, 2001-01-01)
      Alley cropping of Cassia siamea and maize was studied in semi-arid Kenya for soil fertility improvement. Katumani composite maize was planted except in the short rains of 1988 (SR88) when a hybrid variety was sown. Therefore ...
