A staggered maize-legume intercrop arrangement robustly increases crop yields and economic returns in the highlands of Central Kenya

Autor: Mucheru-Muna, M. Pypers, Pieter Mugendi, DN Kung'u, J.B. Mugwe, J Merckx, R. Vanlauwe, Bernard

Smallholder farmers in East-Africa commonly intercrop maize (Zea mays L.) with grain legumes to maximize utilisation of land and labour, and attain larger crop yields. Conventionally, one legume line is intercropped between each pair of maize lines. This study evaluated the potential of a modifie...

Effects of organic and mineral fertilizer inputs on maize yield and soil chemical properties in a maize cropping systems in Meru South District, Kenya

Autor: Mucheru-Muna, M. Mugendi, DN Kung'u, J.B. Mugwe, J Bationo, B. André

Soil nutrient depletion as a result of continuous cultivation of soils without adequate addition of external inputs is a major challenge in the highlands of Kenya. An experiment was set up in Meru South District, Kenya in 2000 to investigate the effects of different soil-incorporated organic (man...

Determinants of the decision to adopt integrated soil fertility management practices by smallholder farmers in the central highlands of Kenya

Autor: Mugwe, J Mugendi, DN Mucheru-Muna, M. Merckx, R. Chianu, J.N. Vanlauwe, Bernard

Declining soil fertility is a major cause of low per capita food production on smallholder farms of sub-Saharan Africa. This study attempted to provide an empirical explanation of the factors associated with farmers’ decisions to adopt or not to adopt newly introduced integrated soil fertility ma...
