Development of maize single cross hybrids for tolerance to low phosphorus
Gudu, Samuel; Kisinyo, Peter; Ouma, Evans Ochieng; Ligeyo, Dickson; Matonyei, Thomas; Were, Beatrice Ang’iyo; Agalo, Joyce; Too, Emily; Onkware, Augustino; Okalebo, John; Othieno, Caleb (2015-08-21)Low available phosphorus (P) is one of the major hindrances to maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in acid soils. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop P-efficient maize inbred lines, (2) develop single cross ... -
Enhancing Maize Grain Yield in Acid Soils of Western Kenya Using Aluminium Tolerant Germplasm
Ouma, Evans Ochieng; Ligeyo, Dickson; Matonyei, Thomas; Agalo, Joyce; Were, Beatrice Ang’iyo; Too, Emily; Onkware, Augustino; Gudu, Samuel; Kisinyo, Peter; Nyangweso, Philip (2015-07-21)Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s most important cereals and is a staple food for many people in developing countries. However, in acid soils (pH < 5.5), its productivity is limited by aluminium (Al) ... -
Phosphorus Sorption and Lime Requirements of Maize Growing Acid Soils of Kenya
Kisinyo, Peter; Othieno, Caleb; Gudu, Samuel; Okalebo, J. R.; Opala, P. A.; Maghanga, J. K.; Ng'etich, W. K.; Agalo, Joyce; Opile, R.W.; Kisinyo, Joyce; Ogola, B. O. (2015-08-21)In Kenya, maize (Zea mays L.) is mainly grown on acid soils in high rainfall areas. These soils are known for low available phosphorus (P), partly due to its sorption by aluminium (Al) and iron oxides. The study ... -
