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, ...
Tree biomass decomposition, nitrogen dynamics, and maize growth under agroforestry conditions in the subhumid highlands of Kenya

Mugendi, D.N. (2013)

Declining crop yields, consequent to continuous cropping without external addition of adequate nutrients, is a major problem facing smallholder farmers in the tropics. The high cost of inorganic fertilizers has led to ...
