Kenya soil health data from multiple agronomic trials across different regions. It captures crop yield responses to cropping systems, field management, fertilizer regimes, manure, crop residues, and lime across various agro-ecological conditions, seasons, and years. The dataset was compiled by Job Kihara from The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT Dataverse, combining peer-reviewed publications and raw data from on-farm and long-term experiments.
Use Cases
- Modeling crop yield responses based on described fertilizer and management practice variables.
- Evaluating the impact of sustainable land management practices like manure and crop residue application.
- Analyzing soil health trends across different agro-ecological conditions and seasons in Kenya.
Strengths
- Data integrates results from peer-reviewed publications, on-farm trials, and long-term experiments.
- Covers multiple factors including cropping systems, fertilizer regimes, and agro-ecological conditions.
- Last updated on 2026-03-16, indicating recent maintenance.
Limitations
- Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
