Changes in leaf yield and nutritive quality of the black nightshade (solarium nigrum) as influenced by nitrogen application
(1996)
The effect of nitrogen application rates on the leaf yield and nutritive quality of the black nightshade (Solatium nigrum L.), an indigenous Kenyan leafy vegetable was investigated. Application of 5 g N per plant gave the ...
Changes in Soil Chemical Properties in Response to Application of Phosphorus Sources in Legume Sorghum Cropping Systems
(2014)
Field experiments to evaluate effect of phosphorus (P) fertilizers and integration of
legumes in sorghum cropping systems on soil pH, available nitrogen (N) and P,
were conducted in Njoro Kenya during the short (SRS) and ...
Soil fertility management: Impacts on soil macrofauna, soil aggregation and soil organic matter allocation
(2011)
Maintenance of soil organic matter through integrated soil fertility management is important for soil quality and agricultural productivity, and for the persistence of soil faunal diversity and biomass. Little is known ...
effect of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer on growth and yield of ironweed (vernonia galamesis)
(2003)
Irooweed (Vernonia galamensis) is a promising new crop for industrial oil but information on its response to fertiliser is scanty. A field experiment was conducted at the University of Nairobi Field Station farm during two ...
Effect of nitrogen and water uptake on yield of wheat
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1992)
For 2 years, field experiments were conducted to study the direct and interactive effects of water and nitrogen uptake at different growth stages on grain yield of wheat, grown on coarse textured alluvial soil of Ludhiana. ...
Influence of organic and mineral fertilization on germination, leaf nitrogen, nitrate accumulation and yield of vegetable amaranth
(2012)
The influence of manure and diammonium phosphate (DAP) mineral fertilizer on germination, leaf nitrogen content, nitrate accumulation and yield of vegetable amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) was investigated. Field ...
Effect of Moisture Availability on Nitrogen and Phosphorus Uptake by Plants Under Semi-arid Soil Conditions
(2002)
A study was conducted in the semi-arid Kibwezi division of Kenya to investigate the
effect of moisture availability on nitrogen and phosphorus uptake by plants. The study consisted of
four treatments i.e. control, grass, ...
