Evaluation of phosphorus uptake from Minjingu Phosphate rock, growth and nodulation of agroforestry tree species in an acid soil from Kenya. In: Assessment of soil phosphorus status and management of phosphatic fertilizer
(University of Nairobi, 2002)
Most acid soils of the tropics and subtropics show a widespread phosphorus (P) deficiency and high P sorption capacity, and therefore require substantial P inputs for optimum plant growth and production of food and fiber. ...

A comparative investigation of methods for longitudinal data with limits of detection through a case study
(2012-04)
The statistical analysis of continuous longitudinal data may be complicated since quantitative levels of bioassay cannot always be determined. Values beyond the limits of detection (LOD) in the assays may not be observed ...
