On-farm Experimentation Process Triggers Kenyan Farmers’ Zeal to Test Technologies in Maize Systems

There is need to rethink the process of conducting on-farm research to better foster knowledge transfer and innovation. Through a participatory on-farm experimentation (OFE) approach, this study was carried out to validate a package of soil moisture and fertilizer nitrogen management practices, and to track farmer adoption of better agronomic practices.
