THE COMBINING ABILITY OF SINGLE CROSSES AND THEIR REACTION TO MAIZE LETHAL NECROSIS VIRUS.
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
Maize is a key staple crop that is grown in most regions of Kenya and it is consumed in various forms by 80% of the population. Among the biotic constraints, maize lethal necrosis disease causes heavy yield losses thus ...
EFFECTS OF SOIL AMENDMENTS ON PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND MAIZE GRAIN YIELD IN POORLY RESPONSIVE SOILS OF WESTERN KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
Poor soil responsiveness to fertilizer application is an emerging problem whose cause is yet to be well understood. This was the basis for a study in Western Kenya to unravel the underlying physical characteristics of these ...
Variability in Morpho-biochemical Traits Associated with Pod Borer (Helicoverpa armigera) Resistance in Pigeonpea Pods
(Journal of Experimental Agriculture International, 2019)
Pigeonpea contributes to food and nutrition security among poor households in urban and rural
areas. Globally it is characterized by stagnant and unstable yield due to its susceptibility to various
stresses including ...
OCCURRENCE OF COMMON BACTERIAL BLIGHT CAUSED BY Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli ON COMMON BEAN AND THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT FACTORS ON IT’S INCIDENCE IN UASIN GISHU COUNTY
(Int. J. Adv. Res., 2019)
Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a popular legume crop in Kenya, ranking
first among the legumes in importance. The production of this crop in
Kenya has not kept pace with the demand. Among the main causes for

Enhancing Seed Yield and Quality of Nerica by Timely Harvesting
(International Journal of Scientific Research and Innovative Technology, 2019)
Rice is one of the new crops in the seed certification system in Kenya. New Rice for Africa
(NERICA), which is upland rice, has been developed and four varieties released for
multiplication in Kenya. Evaluation of ...
Modelling Yield Gap Trends of Maize (Zea mays L.) Production under Soil Fertility Stress for Uasin Gishu Plateau Climate
(International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET), 2019)
Results of maize yield under fertility stressed conditions were predicted using AquaCrop model by comparing a
reference non- fertility stressed field with a stressed condition for levels of soil stress from 5% to 95% ...
Biochemical composition of pigeonpea genotypes in Kenya
(Australian Journal of Crop Science (AJCS), 2019)
Pigeonpea is an important crop in semi-arid tropics and sub-tropics. The improvement and utilization of this crop in East Africa can
enhance food and nutrition security. A study was carried out to examine variation in ...
Prospects of Fungus-Based Biopesticides for Management of Insect Vectors of Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease
(2019)
Maize, Zea mays L., production in Kenya is constrained by both biotic and abiotic factors.
For instance, maize lethal necrosis (MLN) was first reported in Bomet County in 2011 and
has since spread to other maize growing ...
Analysis of the population structure 2015 Puccinia graminis f. sp tritici (Pgt) in Kenya using simple sequence repeats markers
(International Journal of Agronomy and Agricultural Research (IJAAR), 2019)
N Wheat (Triticum astevium) production in Kenya has been severely affected by stem rust Ug99 and its related
race groups. The consequence of not controlling this disease is steep decline in the crop production thus ...
