Okeyo, Jeremiah M.Norton, JayKoala, SaidouWaswa, Boaz S.Kihara, JobBationo, B. André[Impact of reduced tillage and crop residue management on soil properties and crop yields in a long-term trial in western Kenya]Impact of reduced tillage and crop residue management on soil properties and crop yields in a long-term trial in western Kenya

Crop production in sub-Sahara Africa is constrained by low soil phosphorus (P) content. A study was conducted in western Kenya to explore alternative P inputs and ways of optimizing their effectiveness and profitability. A field experiment established in 2007 studied the effects of Minjingu phosp...


Savini, IsaacKihara, JobKoala, SaidouMukalama, JohnWaswa, Boaz S.Bationo, B. André[Long-term effects of TSP and Minjingu phosphate rock applications on yield response of maize and soybean in a humid tropical maize–legume cropping system]Long-term effects of TSP and Minjingu phosphate rock applications on yield response of maize and soybean in a humid tropical maize–legume cropping system

Concentrations and identity of ions in the soil solution may affect soil phosphorus (P) reactions and P availability. In this study, the magnitude of these reactions was evaluated following the application of Minjingu phosphate rock (MPR) combined with chloride and carbonate salts of Na and Ca wi...


Savini, IsaacKoala, SaidouKihara, Job[Minjingu phosphate rock availability in low-pH highly weathered soil as affected by added salts]Minjingu phosphate rock availability in low-pH highly weathered soil as affected by added salts

Soil degradation associated with poor soil fertility management practices is a major factor underlying poor agricultural productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. About 65% of the agricultural land is degraded, mainly due to low nutrient application, soil erosion and soil acidification. Increased ferti...
