  3. Yield gaps, nutrient use efficiencies and response to fertilisers by maize across heterogenous smallholder farms of western Kenya by Tittonell, Pablo A., Vanlauwe, Bernard, Corbeels, Marc, Giller, Kenneth E.

    Published 2008
    “…But soil heterogeneity results in variable responses of crops to fertilisers within single farms. We used existing databases on maize production under farmer (F-M) and researcher management (R-M) to analyse the effect of soil heterogeneity on the different components of nutrient use efficiency by maize growing on smallholder farms in western Kenya: nutrient availability, capture and conversion efficiencies and crop biomass partitioning. …”

  4. A hierarchical method for soil erosion assessment and spatial risk modelling: a case study of Kiambu district in Kenya. by Okoth, Peter F.

    Published 2003
    “…The beneficiaries of the methodology outputs are seen as farmers, government departments, and other non-governmental organisations that are involved in soil and water management. Weaknesses of the conceptual model The following were the observed weaknesses during implementation: In intensive annual farming systems, the features of erosion are usually obscured by frequent tillage practices making their assessment only possible immediately after tillage and after the event of an eroding rainfall or during minimum tillage periods; The above reason means that temporal considerations must be embedded in the methodology where the observations in the field are timed to coincide with rainfall and field preparations; and Any organisations opting to use the method must be fully equipped with GIS facilities and technical capacity to manipulate the spatial databases and modelling their attributes. …”
