Low nutrients have been reported in potato-growing areas of Kenya, prompting a need for nutrient management research. A study was designed to determine the effect omitting on potato growth, yield and harvest index. On-farm omission trials were set during long rains (LR) short (SR) 2016 which treatments involve judicious N, P, K, S B. Additional two included with one receiving all control where ...

BACKGROUND African highlands were known to be free of malaria for the past 50 years. However, the ever growing human population in the highlands of Africa has led to the deforestation and land coverage changes to create space for more land for cultivation, grazing, and house construction materials needs. This has lead to the creation of suitable breeding habitats, which are in open places. Decr...

Recent modeling of a thicker early CO2 martian atmosphere and Late Noachian climate predicts that for pressures beyond a fraction of a bar, atmosphere-surface thermal coupling occurs, resulting in adiabatic cooling of high areas across Mars. This promotes the transport of water ice from relatively warmer lowlying areas to the highlands, where deposition and accumulation of water ice result in a...

East African highlands are one of the most populated regions in Africa. The population densities in the highlands ranged between 158 persons/km(2) in Ethiopia and 410 persons/km(2) in Rwanda. According to the United Nations Population Fund, the region has the world's highest population growth rate. These factors are likely behind the high rates of poverty among the populations. As there were no...
