Effect of land use on physical and hydrological characteristics of Kabete soils
(Department of Agricultural Engineering, University of Nairobi, 1990)Soil physical and hydrological properties of kabete soils were evaluated at three different land use sites namely forest, grass la n d , and cropland sites. The purpose of this work was to determine the effect of selected ... -
The effect of organic and inorganic amendments on phosphorus release and availability from two phosphate rocks and triple superphosphate in phosphorus fixing soils
(Department of soil science, University of Nairobi, 1999)Phosphorus deficiency limits crop production in western Kenya due to low native soil P, continuous cultivation without adequate P fertilization and often high soil P fixation. The use of commercial P fertilizers by small ... -
