Extracts from Field Margin Weeds Provide Economically Viable and Environmentally Benign Pest Control Compared to Synthetic Pesticides

Mkenda, Prisila; Mwanauta, Regina; Stevenson, Philip; Ndakidemi, Patrick; Mtei, Kelvin; Belmain, Steven (Plos One, 2015-11-23)

Plants with pesticidal properties have been investigated for decades as alternatives to synthetics, but most progress has been shown in the laboratory. Consequently, research on pesticidal plants is failing to address ...

A deconvolutional Bayesian mixing model approach for river basin sediment source apportionment

Blake, William; Boeckx, Pascal; Stock, Brian; Smith, Hugh; Bodé, Samuel; Upadhayay, Hari; Gaspar, Leticia; Goddard, Rupert; Lennard, Amy; Lizaga, Ivan; Lobb, David; Owens, Philip; Petticrew, Ellen; Kuzyk, Zou; Gari, Bayu; Munishi, Linus; Mtei, Kelvin; Nebiyu, Amsalu; Mabit, Lionel; Navas, Ana; Semmens, Brice (Scientific Reports, 2018-08-30)

Increasing complexity in human-environment interactions at multiple watershed scales presents major challenges to sediment source apportionment data acquisition and analysis. Herein, we present a step-change in the ...

Connectivity between land, water, and people: integrating process concepts and assessment evidence across disciplines for co-design of soil erosion solutions

Blake, William; Kelly, Claire; Wynants, Mona; Patrick, Aloyce; Lewin, Shaun; Lawson, Joseph; Nasolwa, Emmanuel; Page, Annabel; Nasseri, Mona; Marks, Carey; Gilvear, David; Mtei, Kelvin; Munishi, Linus; Ndakidemi, Patrick (Authorea, 2020-04-20)

Soil resources in East Africa are being rapidly depleted by erosion, threatening food-, water- and livelihood security in the region. Here we demonstrate how integration of evidence from natural and social sciences has ...

Influence of farmers’ socio-economic characteristics on nutrient flow and implications for system sustainability in smallholdings: a review

Mhoro, Lydia; Meya, Akida; Amuri, Nyambilila; Ndakidemi, Patrick; Mtei, Kelvin; Njau, Karoli (Frontiers, 2023-04-14)

The rise in global human population, coupled with the effects of climate change, has increased the demand for arable land. Soil fertility has been the most affected, among other things. Many approaches to soil fertility ...
