    • 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) ...

    • Molecular markers associated with aluminium tolerance in Sorghum bicolor 

      Too, Emily Jepkosgei; Anders S. Carlsson; Were, Beatrice Ang’iyo; Gudu, Samuel; Onkware, Augustino; Mulatu, Geleta (Hereditas, 2018)
      Background: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor, L. Moench) production in many agro-ecologies is constrained by a variety of stresses, including high levels of aluminium (Al) commonly found in acid soils. Therefore, for such soils, ...

    • Nutrient composition of Sorghum-Based Rations and their effect on growth of Improved Indigenous Chicken in Western Kenya 

      Kiptui, Brenda Jemutai; Mewa, Eunice Akello; Rachuonyo, Harold Anindo; Were, Beatrice Ang’iyo; Gudu, Samuel (East African Journal of Agriculture and Biotechnology, 2024)
      Improved indigenous chicken contribute to the nutrition of farmers in rural communities. The use of maize as an energy source in chicken diets is becoming unacceptable due to competition from humans, resulting in high ...
