Agronomic effectiveness of water hyacinth-based composts
(African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2018-09)
Because water hyacinth-based compost contains substantial amounts of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) its application can boost crop production. We evaluated the agronomic performance of water hyacinth - based ...

Improving Water Hyacinth-Based Compost for Crop Production
(Journal of Agricultural Science and Food Technology, 2018-05-30)
A study was carried out to hasten maturity, improve nutrient content and determine agronomic performance of
water hyacinth-based composts. Water hyacinth (WH) was composted using pile method and six treatments:

Compatibility of Rhizobium inoculant and water hyacinth compost formulations in Rosecoco bean and consequences on Aphis fabae and Colletotrichum lindemuthianum infestations
(Applied Soil Ecology, 2014-04)
The common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris is an important crop for food security and nitrogen fixation through Rhizobium symbiosis. Commercial Rhizobium inoculants are being promoted to fix nitrogen and enhance bean production ...
Performance of Mwitemania Bean Under the Influence of Nitrogen-Fixing Rhizobium Inoculant, Water Hyacinth Composts and DAP Fertilizer in a Field Infested with Aphis fabae and Colletotrichum lindemuthianum
(Springer, 2021-11-10)
The production of beans in the Lake Victoria basin of East Africa has been declining while the water hyacinth has been invasively spreading in the lake. These are understood to be effects of nitrogen (N) loss among other ...
