Soil management strategies enhanced crop yield, soil moisture, and water productivity in Nitisols of the Upper Eastern Kenya

Soil management strategies enhanced crop yield, soil moisture, and water productivity in Nitisols of the Upper Eastern Kenya

Low soil moisture and declining crop yield caused by erratic rainfall, and poor soil management practises contribute to the continuous decrease in water productivity. We sought to assess the effects of the selected soil management strategies on crop yield, soil moisture, and water productivity in th...
