Soil Acidity Management by Farmers in the Kenya Highlands

E. M. Muindi, E. Semu, J. P. Mrema, P. W. Mtakwa & C. K. Gachene · Journal of Agriculture and Ecology Research International · 2015

Declining soil fertility attributed to soil acidity is a major soil productivity problem in sub-Saharan Africa. A study was carried out in nine counties across the Kenya highlands, namely Meru, Embu, Kerugoya, Nyeri, Kiambu, Kinangop, Siaya, Busia and Eldoret, where the problems...

Lime-Aluminium- Phosphorus Interactions in Acid Soils of the Kenya Highlands

E. M. Muindi, J. P. Mrema, E. Semu, P. W. Mtakwa, C. K. Gachene & M. K. Njogu · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2015

Liming and phosphorus (P) applications are common practices for improving crop production in acid soils of the tropics. Although considerable work has been done to establish liming rates for acid soils in many parts of the world, information on the role of the lime-Al-P interacti...

Phosphorus Adsorption and Its Relation with Soil Properties in Acid Soils of Western Kenya

E. M. Muindi, J. P. Mrema, E. Semu, P. W. Mtakwa, C. K. Gachene & M. K. Njogu · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2014

Low available phosphorus (P) is one of the major hindrances to crop production in acid soils of western Kenya. Although considerable work has been done to establish P levels in the region, there is paucity of information on which to base fertilizer recommendations due to potentia...
