Recent advances towards understanding and managing Kenyan acid soils for improved crop production
(African Journal of Agricultural Reseach, 2014-06-18)
Effects of lime, phosphorus and rhizobia on Sesbania sesban performance in a Western Kenyan acid soil
(2015-07-21)
Aluminium (Al) toxicity, phosphorus (P) deficiency and low rhizobia populations limit Sesbania
(Sesbania sesban) performance in tropical acid soils. The study determined the i) indigenous rhizobia
populations that nodulate ...
Economic efficiency of green maize intercropped with beans grown under Tithonia and inorganic fertilizer
(African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2015-11-20)
A field trial aimed at assessing the performance of maize and beans under intercropped systems was
conducted in 2013 under three experimental components of maize, beans and maize-bean intercrop in a
randomized complete ...
Soil Incorporated Plant Residues and Nemacur affected Weed Population and Soil Nitrogen Dynamics in Asclepia Field
(International Journal of Agricultural and Food Research, 2013)
Field trials were conducted for two seasons in 2006 and 2007 to test the effect of Tagetes patula, Lantana
camara, Tephrosia vogelii, Azadirachta indica and Nemacur on the growth of asclepiad, soil pH, and soil
nitrogen ...
Improving Carrot Yield and Quality through the Use of Bio-slurry Manure
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2012-11-25)
Continuous cultivation of farms has led to decline in soil fertility due to constant removal of nutrients leading to
reduction of carrot (Daucus carota L.) yields. A field study was carried out at Egerton University, ...
Effects of cowpea leaf harvesting initiation time on yields and profitability of a dual purpose sole cowpea and cowpea maize intercrop
(2010)
Harvesting of cowpea leaves for use as leaf vegetable has gained prominence in many parts
of Africa and Asia. Little is known on effects of leaf harvesting on leaf and grain yields and
profitability of cowpea-based ...
Some aspects of the biology and life-history strategies of Oreochromis variabilis (Boulenger 1906) in the Lake Victoria Basin

Oreochromis variabilis (Boulenger), a fish species endemic to Lake Victoria, was abundant, forming an important component of the indigenous fisheries stocks before and up to the late-1950s. Catches declined drastically ...
Influence of soil moisture levels and packaging on post harvest qualities of tomato
(2015-03-11)
Preharvest factors influence postharvest quality of tomatoes. Whereas water stress improves fruit total
soluble solids; and polyethylene is used for packaging of fresh horticultural produce, little is known
about their ...
Response of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Munch) and Chemical Characteristics of Soil to Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on Kenyan Lower Midlands Acid Soil
(International Journal of Plant & Soil Science, 2019-05-17)
Soil acidity, low level of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and soil organic matter are major constraints to sorghum production in Kenya. We investigated the effect of farmyard manure (FYM) and combined application of inorganic ...
