Drivers of Gully Erosion and its Socio-economic and Environmental Effects in a Tropical Semi-arid Environment

Harrison Churu, Solomon Kamau, Wilson Ng’etich, Keziah Magiroi, Bonface Alkamoi, Syphyline Kebeney, Fred Wamalwa & James Mumo · Asian Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition · 2024

Gully erosion is a form of severe land degradation, which is more pronounced in semi-arid and arid environments due to their vulnerable ecosystems. Establishing the causes and effects of gully erosion is therefore fundamental in policy formulation and resource allocation for up-s...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Enhance P Uptake and Use Efficiency of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Ferralsols: A Study at Uasin Gishu County, Kenya

Anne Njoki, Ruth Njoroge, Keziah Ndungu-Magiroi, Solomon Kamau & Harrison Churu · Asian Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition · 2025

Deficiency of macro and micronutrients is a major challenge to sustainable wheat production. Integrating biostimulants such as Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and inorganic fertilisers has been shown to enhance wheat production by optimising their mutual benefits. However, int...

Effects of Source and Rates of Potassium Fertilizer on Yield Traits and Potassium Use Efficiency of Potato in a Kenyan Ferralsol

Anthony O. Oketch, Jonah K. Ngeno, Lucas K. Ngode, Josiah C. Chiveu & Harrison Churu · Asian Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition · 2023

Aims: Potassium (K) is one of the nutrient elements taken up in large amounts by potatoes, yet there is little research output on K fertilization of the crop in Kenya, due to the assumption that its natural soil reserves are sufficient for the production of most crops. The study...
