There has been tremendous changes in soil use and management in the River Njoro Watershed during the last three decades. Formerly large-scale farms converted into smallholder farms and plantation forests have gradually been lost. These changes in soil use have brought in different soil use and management approaches that have triggered soil erosion and other forms of land degradation. Up to 8.6 Kg of soil, loss per hectare from the cultivated soils has reportedly been lost in one storm. This massive soil loss was probably due to reduced aggregate stability and hydraulic conductivity.

The study was carried out on twelve runoff
plots installed at Kabete Campus Field Station,
University of Nairobi, on a 10% natural slope of
eutric Nitisol to assess the effect of grass strips
in controlling soil loss and runoff on sloping land.
Four treatments, a control plot without grass strip
and three different widths (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 m.) of
Nandi setaria (Setaria anceps), were tested under
natural rainfall during 1982 and 1983, simulated
runoff, and simulated rainfall of 80 mm/hr.

Irregular and Illegal allocation of land is a major component of the land question is in Kenya.
The land question is a major rhetoric as it is not one issue but a myriad of issues entrenched in
archaic, pre colonial administrative methods and systems which led to lack of transparency and
abuse of high held offices in the self interest of individuals as pertaining to land. The targets for
fulfilling such self interests were public land and land that could not be acknowledged by law for

An study was carried out in Kenya to assess the suitability of three promiscuous soybean varieties
(SB19, GAZELLE and TGX1990-5F) intercropped with Maize (Duma 43). A randomised complete
block design was used replicated three times with seven treatments. The arrangement of
intercropping was 1:1. Data collection included germination %, plant height, days to 50% flowering,
days to 75% maturity, yield biomass per plant, 100 grain weight, grain yield, harvest index and Land

Two seasons of archaeological site reconnaissance and geo-archaeological fieldwork in the Kipsing and Tol river valleys of central Kenya have resulted in (1) the location of 58 surface sites and 13 spot finds and (2) the excavation and dating of 11 alluvial stratigraphic profiles. These data are incorporated with our previous work in the study area to yield a preliminary interpretation of Middle and Later Stone Age tool technologies and land-use strategies during the Late Pleistocene period there.

Establishment of seasonal grazing enclosures has become an important rangeland rehabilitation strategy in semi-arid regions. This study assessed the impact of enclosure age and enclosure management on the vegetation composition in the Njemps Flats range unit, Lake Baringo Basin (Kenya). Six communal enclosures (13–23 years since establishment) and six private enclosures (3–17 years since establishment) were selected.
