Vihiga is one of the most densely populated counties in Kenya with a current population density of 1,045 persons per square km. The high population has exerted enormous pressure on available land resource resulting in land fragmentation and uneconomic subdivision. However the seriousness of the problem has not been systematically analyzed and documented.
Effect Of Intercropping Maize-Soybean On Grain Quality Traits In Kenya
An study was carried out in Kenya to assess the suitability of three promiscuous soybean varieties
(SB19, GAZELLE and TGX1990-5F) intercropped with Maize (Duma 43). A randomised complete
block design was used replicated three times with seven treatments. The arrangement of
intercropping was 1:1. Data collection included germination %, plant height, days to 50% flowering,
days to 75% maturity, yield biomass per plant, 100 grain weight, grain yield, harvest index and Land
Influence of Miraa Cultivation on Changing Agricultural Land Use Patterns in Mbita and Kianjiru Locations, Embu County
This study focuses on the influence of miraa (Catha edulis) production on land-use patterns in Mbeere South Sub-County, Embu County. It was borne out of the need to interrogate the phenomenon of invasive and unregulated land-use practices, particularly agricultural practices that have far-reaching spatial and socio-economic implications on livelihoods; and seek mechanisms to safeguard rural areas from negative consequences emanating from the same.
Phytoremediation using bamboo to reduce the risk of chromium exposure from a contaminated tannery site in Kenya
Background. This study examines an intervention strategy to reduce the risk of chromium (Cr) exposure. It follows a previous Cr exposure investigation, which revealed that large volumes of Cr-contaminated waste were burnt on site. The study site had a long history of land-based waste disposal since 1994.
Objective. The potential for phytoremediation using bamboo species to restore Cr-contaminated soil was evaluated.
