Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana) Fodder Yield Potential and Nutritive Value under Different Levels of Phosphorus in Rainfed Conditions

Wekha N. Wafula, Moses Siambi, Henry Ojulong, Nicholas Korir & Joseph Gweyi-Onyango · Journal of Agriculture and Ecology Research International · 2017

Scarcity of fodder is the major limiting factor for increasing livestock production in Kenya. With rising energy costs and declining water levels in the semi-arid tropics and sub-tropics, crops that use less water like finger millet could become an alternate fodder crop. The fodd...

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Uptake and Partitioning in Finger Millet as Influenced by Phosphorus Fertilization

Wekha N. Wafula, Nicholas K. Korir, Henry F. Ojulong, Moses Siambi & Joseph P. Gweyi-Onyango · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2016

Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) production in Eastern Africa remains low due to a variety of factors including soil nutrient depletion. As intensive row-crop production evolves, improvements in managing soil nutrient quantity and availability of less renewable nutrients like P...
