Roles for Herbaceous and Grain Legumes, Kraal Manure, and Inorganic Fertilizers for Soil Fertility Management in Eastern Ugand
(Springer, 2011)
Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moenich] is an important food crop in semi-arid areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Crop yields are generally low and declining partly due to low soil fertility. Therefore on-farm research was ...
Optimizing Smallholder Returns to Fertilizer Use: Bean, Soybean and Groundnut
(2011)
Smallholder African farmers commonly lack the financial means to purchase enough fertilizer for application at the economical optimal rates (EOR), or the rates for maximization of net returns ha−1, to all of their land. ...
Maize Response to Fertilizer and Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Uganda
(American Society of Agronomy, 2012)
Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important smallholder crop in Uganda. Yields are low because of low soil fertility and little fertilizer
use. Yield response to nutrient application and economically optimal rates (EOxR, where x ...
Sorghum Response to Fertilizer and Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Uganda
(American Society of Agronomy, 2012)
Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is important for smallholder production in semiarid parts of Uganda. Grain yields are
low because of low soil fertility. Little fertilizer is used. Yield response to N, P, and K ...
Potential of Termite Mounds and its Surrounding Soils as Soil Amendments in Smallholder Farms in Central Uganda
(BMC Research Notes, 2020)
The low fertility of highly weathered soils has been a major problem for resource-constrained small-holder farmers. In central Uganda, smallholder farmers have been collecting termite mound soils anywhere around the termite ...
Phosphorus Sorption in Tropical Soils
(AIMS Press, 2020-09)
Phosphorus is an important primary nutrient required by plants in large quantities. The various forms of P that plants can take up are the primary monobasic phosphate ion (H2PO4−), secondary dibasic phosphate ion ...
Moringa Oleifera Seeds as a Low-cost Biosorbent for Removing Heavy Metals from Waste Water
(University PIM, Banja Luka, 2020-05)
Heavy metals are considered to be one of the major contaminants of water in recent years due to their non-biodegradable property; hence making them toxic and bioaccumulate to living organisms. ...
