Improving Seed Potato Leaf Area Index, Stomatal Conductance and Chlorophyll Accumulation Efficiency through Irrigation Water, Nitrogen and Phosphorus Nutrient Management
(Journal of Agricultural Studies, 2016)
A study was conducted in a Rainshelter (RTrial) at Horticultural Research and Teaching Farm,
Egerton University to determine the effect of integration of irrigation water, nitrogen (N) and
phosphorus (P) application on ...
Curing reduces postharvest deterioration of biozyme® produced potatoes ( Solanum tuberosum L.)
(Global journal of Bio-science and technology, 2013)
Potato is among food crops that are heavily relied upon for food security assurance worldwide. Potato tubers are consumed in their fresh form and therefore require proper storage to prolong their life after ...
Molecular markers associated with aluminium tolerance in Sorghum bicolor
(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, ...
The status of pesticide usage in East Africa

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 ...
Effect of organic and inorganic phosphorus sources on maize yields in an acid soil in western Kenya
(Research Gate, 2009-06-20)
Maize production in western Kenya is commonly limited by P deficiencies and aluminum
phytotoxicity. Due to high costs of imported fertilizers and lime, focus is now shifting to solutions that utilize local resources. We ...
Interference of large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis) with snap beans
(Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Weed Science Society of America, 2003)
Field experiments were conducted to determine the effect of large crabgrass densities
of 0.5 to 8 plants m-1 of row and emergence time on snap bean yield. Large
crabgrass was planted either along with snap beans (early) ...
