Abstract
This report highlights collaborative research on ISFM that took place on smallholder farms in eastern Kenya in 2000-2003. The project compared 13 soil fertility improvement technologies with farmers' practice of no input. Use of some combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers was shown to improve yields and was subsequently adopted by some 206 farmers in this area.
