Assessing perceived impacts of climate change and how small scale farmers adapt in N in North Kinangop Location, Kenya. 

Njenga, N.W.; Mucheru-Muna, M.; Muriuki, J.N. (2014)
Climate variability and change has been considered to be posing the greatest threat to agriculture and food security in many of the poor, agriculture-based countries in Africa. In recognition of this, an assessment of ...

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 ...
