Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The high population pressure in central Kenya has lead to continuous cultivation with minimal application of nutrient, resulting in nutrient depletion. A study was conducted to determine the effect of Push-pull (intercropping maize with Desmodium and Napier grass) strategy management and nitrogen application on maize grain yield and soil fertility on smallholder farmer s fields in three districts of central Kenya highlands. The experiment design was a split plot design with two factors ( Push-pull vs monoculture and manure (5 t/ha) only vs manure and fertilizer (40 kg/ha) replicated four times.I found an increase in maize yield in Push-pull fields compared with monocultures with only manure added (5t/ha) and the yield increased even more with modest application of fertilizer (40KgN/ha) combined with manure (5t/ha).There was strong significant difference (p0.001) on maize grain yield between Push-pull (5.52t/ha) and monoculture (1.93t/ha) cropping systems in the three districts of central Kenya.From management perspective, the different fertilization regimes had strongest positive effect on maize yield in well managed Push-pull cropping systems. 72 pp. Englisch.…
