Sommer, RolfKihara, JobMukulama, JohnKaranja, NjeriAyaga, GeorgeNyambati, JohnPaul, Birthe K.[Impact of soil conservation practices on soil health, climate smartness and performance of smallholder farms in Western Kenya]Impact of soil conservation practices on soil health, climate smartness and performance of smallholder farms in Western Kenya

Soil degradation poses a serious threat to food production and rural livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa1. Nutrient mining ,as a result of unsustainable farming practices, have left the soils unfertile (Fig.1). Green Manure Cover Crops (GMCC’s) are a promising intervention to improve soil health2.B...

Secondary and micronutrients are important in enhancing crop productivity; yet, they are hardly studied in sub-Sahara Africa. In this region, the main focus has been on macronutrients but there is emerging though scattered evidence of crop productivity limitations by the secondary and micronutrie...

CROSST is an Excel-based tool that assesses both agro-environmental and socio-economic impacts of Green Manure Cover Crop (GMCC) technologies. The tool quantifies gross economic margin, productivity (yield), soil health (N and P balances, soil structure, and soil organic carbon), required labor h...
