Strong gradients of decreasing soil fertility are found with increasing distance from the homestead within smallholder farms in Vihiga-Kenya. Nutrient use efficiency varies strongly between fields along these gradients of soil fertility. There is continuous accumulation of nutrients in areas around the homestead at the expense of nutrient depletion in further and larger fields. Unequal distribution of nutrients on the farm causes differences in yield with more yields being obtained in some areas on the farm than others.

Purpose:
The purpose of the study was to analyze the Social
-
economics influence on project
implementation by determining factors that influence indigenous poultry production. The study
would then give recommendations to the relevant authorities and the indigenous
poultry keepers to
address tho
se factors aimed at increasing i
ndigenous poultry production
.
Findings:
The study showed that land size which was on average 1.1 had a significant influence on

Declining land productivity and
per capita
food availability poses challenges to overcoming land
degradation and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. There is a need to identify ways of improving land
productivity particularly among smallholders. This study investigated the contribution of integrated soil
fertility management (ISFM) practices to both technical and allocative efficiencies in the maize farming
system of Kenya. To determine efficiency gains from ISFM, we compared efficiencies of two groups of

This study set out to analyze the agricultural potential in
a newly settled Masongaleni Settlement Scheme being an example
of an Arid and Semi-Arid land. The potentials here are the
under-utilized rainfed, irrigated agriculture and livestock
production particularly bee keeping. A comparison of selected
rainfed crop yields from Masongaleni Settlement Scheme and
similar ~cological areas is used to identify the potentials of
the &chem~.
On the irrigated crops, the study compares the farmers'

Land-cover change in the rangelands can be manifested in different ways, including bush

A study on street addressing system reveals that there are several benefits associated with the system. In fact, it is one of the most feasible systematic efficient approaches for managing properties and locating places. A sizeable sample of planning authorities in developed countries have applied successfully street addressing to manage cities, towns and urban areas.

Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the potential of incorporating Prosopis juliflora seed pods into typical dry land livestock production systems to minimize feed scarcity during the dry seasons and avoiding weight losses and poor performance. The study evaluated supplementation of weaner Galla goats with increasing amounts of Prosopis juliflora seedpods that is widely distributed in arid and semi arid areas of Kenya. This species is drought tolerant and with high productivity of seed pods whole year round.
