Kinama, J.M.; Stigter, C.J.; Ng'ang'a, J.K.; Gichuki, F.N.; Ong, C.K. (2005)

In many agricultural systems in the semi-arid tropics, crops use only a small fraction of the total rainfall. Agroforestry can greatly reduce some losses, especially on hi II slopes, where soi I evaporation, runoff and ...

Contour Hedgerows and Grass Strips in Erosion and Runoff Control on Sloping Land in Semi-Arid Kenya

Kinama, J.M.; Stigter, C.J.; Ong, C.K.; Ng'ang'a, J.K.; Gichuki, F.N. (Taylor and Francis Group, 2007)

Most early alley cropping studies in semi-arid Kenya were on fairly flat land while there is an increase in cultivated sloping land. The effectiveness of aging contour hedgerows and grass strips for erosion control on an ...
