Socio‐Ecological Niches for Minimum Tillage and Crop‐Residue Retention in Continuous Maize Cropping Systems in Smallholder Farms of Central Kenya

Agronomy Journal, 2012
Soil fertility gradients develop on smallholder farms due to preferential allocation of inputs. A multi‐location on‐farm trial was conducted in Meru South, Central Kenya whose overall aim was to test minimum tillage and crop‐residue retention practices in socio‐ecological niches across heterogeneous smallholder farms. We identified three soil fertility
