Micro-Dosing of Lime, Phosphorus and Nitrogen Fertilizers Effect on Maize Performance on an Acid Soil in Kenya
(Sustainable Agriculture Research, 2015-03-17)
High cost of inorganic fertilizers and lime has precluded their use by smallholder farmers to remedy the problem of soil acidity and infertility in Kenya. To address the problem, we tested a precision technique referred ...
Development of maize single cross hybrids for tolerance to low phosphorus
(2015-08-21)
Low available phosphorus (P) is one of the major hindrances to maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in acid
soils. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop P-efficient maize inbred lines, (2) develop single
cross ...
Immediate and residual effects of lime and phosphorus fertilizer on soil acidity and maize production in western Kenya
(2015-08-21)
Soil acidity and phosphorus (P) deficiency are some of the major causes of low maize yields in Kenya.
This study determined the immediate and residual effects of lime and P fertilizer on soil pH, exchangeable
aluminium ...
