The reasons for the lack of inclusion of below-ground
biodiversity in the Kenyan policy and legal framework
were sought. Gaps were identified in the relevant
sectoral policies and laws in regard to the
domestication of the Convention on Biological
Diversity (CBD). Below -ground biodiversity had n...

The study aimed at identifying soil fertility management practices that promote the Collembola population, diversity and survival in the soil. Soil samples were randomly collected from on farm plots amended with: 1-Mavuno ((Ma)-is a compound fertilizer containing 26% Potassium, 10% Nitrogen, 10% ...

On-station and on-farm studies were carried out in 2008 during the long rains (March – May), in Taita region, Kenya, to assess the effect of various soil fertility regimens on bean stem maggot (BSM) (Ophiomyia spp.) and black bean aphid (BBA) (Aphis fabae) incidences. These studies aimed at gathe...
