EFFICACY OF PLANT EXTRACTS AND EXTRACTING AGENTS AGAINST Colletotrichum gloeosporoides OF PAWPAW FRUITS
(African Crop Science Journal, 2020)
Pawpaw (Carica papaya L.) is a fruit crop of economic importance in Kenya, where small scale farmers
are the major producers. One factor limiting pawpaw production is anthracnose disease caused by
Colletotrichum ...
Genotypic variation of bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea L.Verdc) for phosphorus efficiency
(ACTA AGRICULTURAE SCANDINAVICA, SECTION B — SOIL & PLANT SCIENCE, 2020)
Low phosphorus (P) in agricultural ecosystems limits growth of bambara. Field trials were carried
out at 2 P levels (0 and 35 kg/ha) to determine the variation of 12 bambara genotypes in
phosphorus efficiency, identify ...
Influence of Herbicides on Yield, Weight and Size of Soybean Seed
(Dutse Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences (DUJOPAS), 2020)
Soybean, (Glycine max) is an annual crop belonging to the family Fabaceae, which is versatile and
useful in the economy as human diet, animal feed and for industrial purposes. However, due to its
higher price at the ...
Impact of Fungal Endophyte Colonization of Maize (Zea mays L.) on Induced Resistance to Thrips- and Aphid-Transmitted Viruses
(Plants, 2020)
In eastern Africa, Maize lethal necrosis (MLN) is caused by the co-infection of maize plants
with Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) (Tombusviridae: Machlomovirus) and Sugarcane mosaic virus
(SCMV) (Potyviridae: Potyvirus). ...
Response to and cost effectiveness of Improved Kienyeji Chicken fed on Maize Substituted Sorghum-Based Rations
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2020)
Rearing improved indigenous chicken fed on locally available low cost, low tannin, sorghum
based diets in the semi-arid areas of Western Kenya could address the region’s food
insecurity resulting from low crop and ...
Influence of Phosphorus Fertilizer on “Ware” Potato Production in Acid Soils in Kenya
(Sustainable Agriculture Research, 2020)
One of the major challenges facing potato (Solanum Tuberosum L) production in Kenya is low and declining
yield. This trend is caused by several factors which include low quality and quantity of seed, climate change, ...
Comparative Evaluation of Carcass Traits of Male and Female Kuchi Indigenous Chicken Ecotype of Kenya
(Africa Journal of Technical & Vocational Education & Training, 2020)
Indigenous chicken (IC) is becoming popular for both egg and meat traits. However, little
interventions have been made towards developing pure genotypes from IC ecotypes for these
functional traits. Kuchi is one of the ...
Effect of Cropping System and Nitrogen on Maize and Soy Bean Yields in Western Kenya
(2020)
Inherent low soil fertility in the highly weathered and degraded soils largely accounts for low and unsustainable
crop yields in most African countries (Okalebo et al., 2006; Sanchez et. al., 1997). Productivity of maize ...
Comparative Evaluation on Carcass Yield in Rabbits Fed Under Four Different Diets
(Africa Journal of Technical & Vocational Education & Training, 2020)
Rabbits (Oryctolagus Cuniculus) are non-ruminant forage consumers with high growth
potential and fecundity. They require small rearing space and are preferred in rural households
for improved nutrition and income ...
