Nutrient reduction in runoff water from sugarcane farms by sedimentation method
(Environmentalist Journal, 2012-09-02)
Due to intensive use of agronomic inputs in sugarcane farming, runoff water from these farms is loaded with high concentrations of nutrients. These nutrients find their way into rivers, lakes and sinks, eutrophicating them. ...
Sorption and Availability of Potassium in selected Soils from Kenya: Effects of organic matter and pH on concentration of adsorbed potassium in sugarcane and maize growing zones
(Lambert Academic Publishing, 2013-01-01)
Potassium fertilizers have been found to increase yields of food crops in soils of Kenya and the world. The availability of potassium in maize and sugarcane growing soils in Kenya is unknown and this could be causing the ...
