The aim of this study was to assess the potential of commercial mycorrhizal inoculants and a rhizobial inoculant to improve soybean yield in Kenya. A promiscuous soybean variety was grown in a greenhouse pot study with two representative soils amende

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important East Africa highland crop but yields are low. Information is scarce for optimization of fertilizer use. Research was conducted to determine yield response functions for N, P and K, and to diagnose Mg–S�

Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn) is an important food crop of semi-arid to sub-humid Africa where little is known of its response to applied nutrients. Yield responses to nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) together with a dia

During recent decennia, new commercial products have appeared on the market as alternatives to common fertilizers. While some of these products are based on well-established technologies, such as rhizobium inoculation, others have not been subjected
