Even though potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)-based intercropping systems are widely practised in developing countries, only a few studies have focused on legumes as the companion intercrops. This study was conducted to assess the effect of incorporating legumes into the potato production system on g...

Soil erosion rates are exacerbated in sloping arable lands of Central Kenya due mainly to the high soil disturbance caused by potato hilling. A field study was conducted in runoff plots to quantify the effect of potato hilling on soil loss, soil moisture distribution and soil temperature. Three h...

Competition for nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) under potato-based intercropping systems decreases the level of nutrients available for potato and subsequently influences nitrogen and phosphorous use efficiency. A field trial was conducted for four consecutive seasons between 2014 short rains an...

Bacterial wilt disease, race 3 biovar 2A, is a devastating disease of potato and other important solanaceous crops, with no chemical control method. The current studies were, therefore, undertaken to assess the efficacy of biocontrol agent (BCA) and organic amendments to manage bacterial wilt (BW...

Soil organic matter (SOM) losses due to soil erosion may be considered low in continuous potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cropping systems, but cumulated over time may cause considerable soil degradation. A field study was conducted in Kabete, Kenya, during the 2014 to 2015 rainy seasons to determin...

Integrating crop species with different photosynthetic pathways has great potential to increase efficiency in the use of scarce resources. In order to tap the resource complementarity emanating from this mix, this study intercropped potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) with lima bean (Phaseolus lunatas ...
