Greenhouse Gas Fluxes and Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Following Single Summer Tillage Event

Prakriti Bista, Urszula Norton, Rajan Ghimire & Jay B. Norton · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2015

No-till farming results in gradual buildup of soil organic matter (SOM) and re-introduction of tillage can often reverse it. However, tillage in low precipitation regions may be needed to manage weeds and disperse accumulation of immobile soil nutrients. The main objective of thi...

Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization and Crop Parameters in Typical Maize-Bean Intercropping in Western Kenya

A. Judith Odhiambo, Urszula Norton, C. Emmanuel Omondi, Dennis Ashilenje & Jay B. Norton · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2014

Smallholder farmers in western Kenya who plant maize (Zea mays L.) intercropped with beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) face many challenges associated with nutrient-poor soils and weather-related crop failures. In regions where temperatures are favorable, crops are grown twice per ye...
