I am working on:

I am currently working on Nitrogen cycling under conservation farming and biochar application in contrasting soils. I am the effects of climate smart practices on emission of nitrous oxide, biological N-fixation and Nitrogen use efficiency in maize-pigeonpea rotations.

My research focuses on enhancing productivity, nitrogen cycling, and reducing emission of greenhouse gases  in low-input systems of sub-Saharan Africa. Previously l worked on the effects of maize-cowpea intercropping systems on biological N fixation, NUE and productivity, in Zimbabwe. My current research is on the effect of biochar application and conservation agriculture on nitrous oxide emissions, nitrate and ammonia dynamics, N fixation and grain yield in contrasting soils of Uganda.
