Macro and micro-propagation of Melia volkensii gurk (meliaceae): an indegenous multipurpose drylands tree species
Indieka, A.S. [[n.d.]]
Melia volkensii Giirke (Meliaceae) is a popular indigenous multipurpose tree species endemic in the arid and semi arid lands (ASALs) of East Africa. It is a prolific seeder, though its mass-multiplication has been constrained by problems in propagation through . seed and conventional stem cuttings. In this study, three vegetative propagation techniques were investigated: (i) macro-propagation ...

Nitrogen sourcing by fast - growing legumes in pure and mixed species fallows in western Kenya
Gathumbi, S.M. [march2000]
Nitrogen sourcing, accumulation and recycling to crops by tree/shrub/herbaceous legumes in planted fallows are among the innovative features of legume-crop rotation systems (referred to as improved fallows). With increasing concern o¥er the success and adoption of the technology by farmers, mixed species fallows are viewed to have a potential of reducing farmer risks and offer diversified prod ...

Soci-economic factors influencing environmental degradation in Kakamega forest complex, Kenya: The case study of fuelwood exploitation

However, with an increase in population accompanied by the ever-changing socio- economic environment in which these households operate, the exploitation of natural. forests can no longer be considered sustainable. Fuelwood is the most ...
