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. ...
Effect of Co-applied Corncob Biochar with Farmyard Manure and NPK Fertilizer on Tropical Soil
(Science Direct, 2021-09)
Biochar has shown a positive impact on degraded soils. However, the effect of co-applied biochar with farmyard manure and inorganic fertilizer on soil chemical characteristics, yield, nutrient constituent and economic ...
Low cost maize stover biochar as an alternative to inorganic fertilizer for improvement of soil chemical properties, growth and yield of tomatoes on degraded soil of Northern Uganda
(Springer Nature, 2023-10-07)
Soil fertility decline due to nutrient mining coupled with low inorganic fertilizer usage is a major cause of low crop yields across sub-Saharan Africa. Recently, biochar potential to improve soil fertility has gained ...
