Validation of climate smart Pigeon pea Agronomic practices in Baringo, Elgeyo marakwet, Machakos, Tharaka and Kabete

    Overview
    Overview
    • To validate the potential use of selected hormones in seed priming in economically important pigeon pea
    •  To determine the effect of seed priming hormones on the physiological responses of the selected varieties and the effect growth and yield under drought stress conditions.
    •  To validate nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer micro-dosing and rainwater harvesting practices under varied pigeon pea and cereal inter-cropping systems
