Abstract

Decline in soil fertility has been identified as a major factor hindering maize productivity globally; the majority of these soils are deficient in nitrogen, phosphorous and organic matters. Low maize productivity in Kenya is attributed to decline in soil fertility. Improving soil fertility is necessary to achieve sustainable maize productivity among small - scaled farmers. However, farmers’ response toward the application of fertilize rs is not enough. This study sought to determine farmers’ response towards the usage of organic and inorganic fertilizer in maize cropping systems among the maize producers.
