Managing manure heaps with agro-organic wastes and cover to reduce nitrogen losses during storage on smallholder farms
(University of Nairobi, 2007)
Livestock manure is a valuable source of plant nutrients for crop production in the Central Kenyan highlands but its quality in terms of available nitrogen (N) is low due to considerable N losses through ammonia volatilization. ...

The Influence Of Soil Fertility Management Practises On Population Sizes Of Soil Fauna In Central Highlands Of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2000)
The need for an increase in crop (particularly food) production to match the demand from an ever-increasing human population has led to intensive agriculture. This is usually associated with a high level of ecological ...
