Effect of Eco-Physiological Variability in Leucaena leucocephala Growth and Development
(International Journal of Plant & Soil Science, 2016-05-09)
The effect of eco-physiological differences in two sites on growth and development of Leucaena
was assessed. A 2-factor (provenance-site) experiment in a completely randomized design with
three (3) replications was set ...
Performance of Leucaena leucocephala, Seedlings in Two Agro-climatic Regions of Kenya
(Journal of Agriculture and Ecology Research International, 2016-02-17)
A study was conducted to determine the response of Leucaena seedlings planted in two variant
agro-climatic regions, Chepkoilel Campus and Maseno in Kenya. The experiment was a 2-factor
(provenance – site) split plot ...
