Coupling Hydrus 2D/3D and AquaCrop Models for Simulation of Water Use in Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata (L.) Walp)
(Renewable Energy Sources: Engineering, Technology, Innovation, 2021-01-05)Simulation of the soil water balance requires reliable representation of the main hydrological processes such as infiltration, drainage, evapotranspiration and run off. In a cropping system, the determination of the soil ... -
COUPLING HYDROLOGICAL AND CROP MODELS FOR IMPROVED AGRICULTURAL WATER MANAGEMENT - A REVIEW
(Bulgarian Journal of Agricultural Science, 2018-04-09)Understanding the relationships among plant, soil, and water is important in agricultural water management practices. Simulation of the soil water balance is central to improving crop water productivity. Individual crop ... -
Optimization of rainwater harvesting system design for smallholder irrigation farmers in Kenya: a review
(AQUA - Water Infrastructure, Ecosystems and Society, 2021-04-15)The adverse effects of climate change on agriculture have been felt across the globe. Smallholder farmers in sub-Sahara Africa are particularly more vulnerable to the effects of climate change leading to loss of income and ... -
Modelling of nitrates in River Nzoia using MIKE 11
(Water Practice and Technology, 2017-03)Eutrophication is a serious problem in Lake Victoria as a result of enrichment by nutrients transported by the rivers draining into it. River Nzoia is one of the main rivers draining into the lake. The main aim of this ... -
Modelling soil water distribution under Moistube irrigation for cowpea (VIGNA unguiculata(L.) Walp.) crop(dagger)
(Irrigation and Drainage, 2020-07-22)Moistube irrigation (MTI) is a type of technology which uses a semipermeable membrane to emit water continuously in response to soil water potential and applied pressure. Soil water dynamics under MTI incorporating plant ... -
Nutritional yield and nutritional water productivity of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) under varying irrigation water regimes
(Water SA, 2020-07)There is a need to mainstream traditional crops in sub-Saharan Africa, in order to tackle food and nutritional insecurity through incorporating nutritional quality into crop water productivity, in the wider context of the ... -
Effect of Moistube and subsurface drip irrigation on cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (I.) Walp) production in South Africa
(Water SA, 2020-04-29)Moistube Irrigation (MTI) is a new subsurface irrigation technology where the water emits from a semi-permeable membrane at a slow rate depending on applied pressure and soil water potential. There is lack of information ... -
Water resource management: IWRM strategies for improved water management.
(plos one, 2021-05-25)Objective The analytical study systematically reviewed the evidence about the IWRM strategy model. The study analysed the IWRM strategy, policy advances and practical implications it had, since inception on effective ... -
Hydraulic and clogging characteristics of Moistube irrigation as influenced by water quality
(Journal of Water Supply: Research and Technology, 2018-06-12)Irrigation consumes approximately 70% of total freshwater use worldwide. This necessitates the use of efficient irrigation methods such as micro-irrigation. Moistube irrigation (MI) is a new subsurface irrigation technology ... -
Soil water dynamics under Moistube irrigation
(Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, 2020-02)The design and management of irrigation systems require knowledge of soil water movement. There are few studies on soil water dynamics of Moistube irrigation (MTI) since it is a relatively new type of subsurface irrigation ... -
Rhizobium-Linked Nutritional and Phytochemical Changes Under Multitrophic Functional Contexts in Sustainable Food Systems
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021-01-11)Rhizobia are bacteria that exhibit both endophytic and free-living lifestyles. Endophytic rhizobial strains are widely known to infect leguminous host plants, while some do infect non-legumes. Infection of leguminous roots ... -
Rhizobium improves nutritive suitability and tolerance of Phaseolus vulgaris to Colletotrichum lindemuthianum by boosting organic nitrogen content
(Applied Soil Ecology, 202-05)Symbiotic nitrogen fixing Rhizobium species have been reported to trigger induced resistance reactions that are inhibitive to aboveground antagonists. We tested the hypothesis that root infection by nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium ... -
