Effects of selected soil and water conservation technologies on nutrient losses and maize yields in the central highlands of Kenya KU Leuven
Mitigating nutrient loss is a prerequisite of sustainable agriculture in the tropics. We evaluated threesoil and water conservation technologies (mulching, minimum tillage and tied ridging) for two croppingseasons (long rains 2011, short rains 2011) at two sites in the central highlands of Kenya. The objectiveswere: to determine effects of the technologies on runoff, sediment yield and nutrient loads in sediment,and to assess influence of the ...
