Modelling the potential impact of climate change on sorghum and cowpea production in semi-arid areas of Kenya using the agricultural production systems simulator (APSIM
(2010)
Managing crop production risks associated with inter-annual
climate variability and climate change has received insignificant
attention in the semi-arid areas of Kenya. Against this backdrop,
the potential impact of ...
Production in semi-arid areas of Kenya using the agricultural production systems simulator (APSIM)
(2000)
Managing crop production risks associated with inter-annual climate variability and climate change has received insignificant attention in the semi-arid areas of Kenya. Against this backdrop, the potential impact of climate ...
Yield and water use efficiencies of maize and cowpea as affected by tillage and cropping systems in semi-arid Eastern Kenya
(University of Nairobi,, 2012)
Soil water conservation through tillage is widely accepted as one of the ways of improving crop yields in rainfed agriculture. Field experiments were conducted between 2007 and 2009 to evaluate the effects of conservation ...

Effects Of Land Use Change On Soil Qualities In The Sasumua Catchment Of Tana River Drainage System In Nyandarua District, Kenya
(2008)
Effects of land use conversion from forest (F) to annual crop cultivation (AC) and grazing land (LG) on soil qualities were investigated in Sasumua catchment with the aim of (a) determining the changes in selected physical ...
SESSION IV–SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION-Hydraulic properties of Andasols following deforestation in the northern slopes of Mount Kenya
(2004)
Deterioration in soil hydraulic properties due to deforestation adversely affects the
hydrology of catchments, especially those on mountain slopes.
Characterization of Kenyan Honeys Based on Their Physicochemical Properties, Botanical and Geographical Origin.
(University of Nairobi, 2019)
Properties and composition of honey are essential in providing information regarding their quality as well as in their differentiation based on production region characteristics, e.g., floral sources. This paper presents ...
Diagnosis of Soil Nutrient Constraints in Small-Scale Groundnut (Arachis hyopaea L.) Production Systems of Western Kenya Using Infrared Spectroscopy
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
Wise decision-making on resource allocation and intervention targeting for soil management cannot rely solely on trial and error methods and field observations used by small-scale farmers: cost-effective soil fertility ...
