Planting Pits’ Effects on Soil Nutrients in a Sorghum and Pigeon Pea Rotation in Semi-arid Areas of Eastern Kenya

Rebecca Yegon, Peter W. Mtakwa, Geoffrey C. Mrema & Felix K. Ngetich · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2016

Planting pits are rain water harvesting structures that trap water and nutrients in surface runoff and rain water falling directly into the pits. Planting pits have been promoted for improving crop yields without considering the nutrient dynamics. To contribute to this knowledge,...

Inoculated Soybean Yields Response to Nitrogen and Phosphorus Application

Austin T. Phiri, Esther Mwende Muindi, Jacob Omondi Omollo, Rebecca Yegon & Daniel Kausiwa · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2016

Inherent low soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is one of the major hindrances of increased soybean productivity in Malawian soils. Although, inoculation of legumes with rhizobia, has been advocated for decades as a way of boosting leguminous crops’ productivity through biologi...
