Seed Potato Growth, Harvest Index and Net Economic Benefit Improvement through Irrigation Water, Nitrogen and Phosphorus Management
(Columbia International Publishing American Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology, 2016)
A study was conducted in a Rainshelter (RTrial) at Egerton University to determine the correlation between irrigation water, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) application on seed potato growth, harvest index (HI) and net ...
Effect of Light and Temperature through Poly Film Covers on Anthocyanin Content in Rose Cut Flowers
(International Journal of Plant & Soil Science, 2017-11-22)
Quality is the most important attribute in rose cut flowers for both export and domestic market. Quality in cut flowers may be defined by many attributes however, among the most important is colour. A group of pigments ...
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 ...

(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 ...
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 ...
