multiplication in Kenya. Evaluation of ...
DIVERSITY OF ELITE KENYAN BREAD WHEAT MUTANT LINES IN STEM RUST (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) RESISTANCE
(University of Eldoret, 2018)
Stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici is a major constraint to wheat production in Kenya. The re-emergence of a new fungal race Ug99 and its variants have caused devastating losses to wheat production since ...
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% ...
EFFECT OF PHOSPHATE FERTILIZER RATES ON GROWTH AND LEAF YIELD OF AFRICAN NIGHTSHADE (Solanum L. section solanum) GENOTYPES IN UASIN GISHU COUNTY, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
The African nightshade vegetable is in high demand in many parts of western Kenya, this demand has not been met due low yields caused by low use of fertilizer inputs in the region. Most of the soils found in Uasin Gishu ...
Optimization of nutrient media for sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) vine multiplication in sandponics: Unlocking the adoption and utilization of improved varieties
(Gates Open Research, 2018)
Sweetpotato, being a vegetatively propagated crop is prone
to seed degeneration, and a continuous source for high quality sweetpotato
seed is critical for an efficient seed system. In most Sub-Saharan African
countr ...
DETERMINING QUANTITY OF COWPEA (Vigna unguiculata) LEAF YIELD UNDER DIFFERENT MANURE APPLICATION REGIMES AND CROPPING SYSTEMS IN WESTERN KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
The low production of cereals and legumes among small-scale farmers in Kenya attributed to declining soil fertility and poor agronomic practices has led to renewed interest to review existing crop improvement technologies. ...
EVALUATION OF BEAN VARIETIES (phaseolus vulgaris L) FOR RESISTANCE TO bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) and bean common mosaic necrotic virus (BCMNV) ACROSS A SOIL FERTILITY GRADIENT IN WESTERN KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Bean Common Mosaic and Bean Common Mosaic Necrosis are some of the most devastating diseases of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L) in Kenya. These viral diseases cause more than 80% yield losses. Control by chemical method ...

(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Food insecurity is one of the major challenges in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), Kenya included, and continues to pose a threat to the existence of millions of the inhabitants of the region. Yet a lot of research has been carried ...
EFFECTIVENESS OF LIMING MATERIALS AND PHOSPHORUS FERTILIZER APPLICATION ON MAIZE PRODUCTION IN ACID SOILS OF SIAYA AND KAKAMEGA COUNTIES.
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Soil acidity is a major contributor to soil infertility in western Kenya. Smallholder farmers in this region have persistently realized low yields (< 1 t ha-1 season-1 maize) in comparison to potential estimates of 6 – 8 ...
