Bio-physical and socio-economic evaluation of the phosphate rock and rhizobium on groundnuts in Tororo, Uganda
Nkwiine, C.; Zake, J. Y. K.; Kakinda, Mary Jo.; Sebukyu, Vincent (Soil Science Society of East Africa (SSSEA), 1999)The rapid population increase and reliance on traditional methods of agricultural production has threatened food security in Uganda. Growing of annual crop is one possible solution to the threat. However, frequent growing ... -
Effect of combinations of land clearing and soil management practices on microbial biomass
Nkwiine, Charles; Zake, J. Y. K.; Sessanga, S.; Tumuhairwe, J. K.; Okwakol, M.; Kasene, V.; Zobisch, M. A (Soil Science Society of East Africa, 1998)In a non-fertilizer agriculture of Uganda practiced on low-CEC soils microbial biomass and activities may be affected by and clearing, tillage and soil management practiced in the country. A three-year experiment was ... -
Effect of Rhizobium-inoculated pueraria phaseolides green manure on soil nitrogen
Nkwiine, Charles; Nankyanzi, M.; Zake, J. Y. K. (Soil Science Society of East Africa, 1999)Efforts have been made to improve agricultural productivity through improving the overall agronomic practices yet yields are still below the expected potentials. This could be attributed to soil fertility exhaustion, ... -
Efforts by small-scale farmers to maintain soil fertility and their impacts on soil properties, Luwero District, Uganda
Nyombi, Kenneth; Esser, K. B.; Zake, J. Y. K. (The Haworth Press, 2006)Low soil fertility remains a major reason for rural poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. In light of the need to set priorities and formulate development policies, this study investigates efforts by farmers in central Uganda to ... -
Evaluation of alternative soil management techniques under intensive cultivation of the Lake Victoria creascent of Uganda
Nkwiine, Charles; Zake, J. Y. K.; Sessanga, S.; Tumuhairwe, J. K.; Bwamiki, D.; Okwakol, M.; Kasenge, V.; Zobisch, M. A.; Sendiwanyo (Soil Science Society of East Africa, 1998)Effective evaluation of soil management techniques require consideration of the soil, the crops, the farmers and the environment. Soil productivity in the "fertile crescent" zone around Lake Victoria of Uganda has decreased. ... -
Farmer selection of bio-physical diversity for agricultural land uses in dissected highland plateaus of Mbarara, Uganda
Nkwiine, C.; Tumuhairwe, J. K.; Zake, J. Y. K. (Soil Science Society of East Africa (SSSEA), 1999)Dissected Highland plateaus of Mbarara district are found in Isingiro and Rwampara counties.
