      Nambafu, Godfrey; Adam, Anna; Onyuka, Enos; Bessler, Holger; Andika, Darius O.; Mwonga, Samuel; Gweyi-Onyango, Joseph Patrick; Engels, Christof (2017-09)
      In many smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa, nutrient supply is either too low leading to soil fertility decline due to soil mining or too high leading to environmental pollution. The aim of our study was the ...

    • Plant residue-derived organic carbon input into soil in African indigenous vegetable production systems 

      Onyuka, Enos; Nambafu, Godfrey; Bessler, Holger; Adam, Anna; Andika, Darius O.; Gweyi-Onyango, Joseph Patrick; Mwonga, Samuel; Engels, Christof (2016-09)
      Food production in sub Saharan Africa is constrained by low soil fertility, whereby soil organic matter (SOM) is key factor regulating many soil functions that determine the yielding ability of soils. SOM content is ...

    • Strategies of African indigenous vegetables to cope with phosphorus deficient soils 

      Nambafu, Godfrey; Onyuka, Enos; Bessler, Holger; Hoeppner, Nicolai; Andika, Darius O.; Gweyi-Onyango, Joseph Patrick; Mwonga, Samuel; Engels, Christof (Albrecht Daniel Thaer-Institute of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences (ADTI), 2016-09)
