DETERMINATION OF DISEASE PREVALENCE, BEST TREATMENT COMBINATIONS AND TEST OF INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT ON TOMATO (Solanum lycopersicon Mill) PROTECTED FROM CROP PESTS USING AGRONETS IN KENYA
(2016-05-23)
Tomato is an important economic and food security crop in Kenya grown under rain fed and irrigation systems mainly by small-scale farmers as source of income, vitamins A, C, Lycopene and alicin strong anti oxidants that ...
GENETIC ANALYSIS AND SELECTION FOR PHOSPHORUS EFFICIENCY IN
(2016-05-23)
Low available phosphorus (P) remains a major limitation to maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in low P soils. Selecting maize hybrids that acquire and use P efficiently could reduce the rising costs of inorganic P. The ...
EFFECTS OF NITROGEN FERTILIZER AND HERBICIDE COATED MAIZE
(2016-05-23)
Striga hermonthica (witch weed) infestation and low soil fertility are two major constraints to maize production in western Kenya. The low inherent soil fertility and poor crop management practices result in subsequent ...
NUTRIENTS LIMITING SOYBEAN (Glycine max L) PRODUCTION IN ACRISOLS AND FERRALSOLS OF KAKAMEGA AND BUSIA COUNTIES
(2016-05-23)
Soybean is a good source of protein and calories and therefore important for food security. Soybean yields in western Kenya stand at 0.6 t ha-1 season-1against a potential of 3 to 3.6 t ha-1 season-1. This has been attributed ...
EFFECT OF METHANOLIC EXTRACTS OF Sida cuneifolia ROOTS
(2016-05-23)
The importance of plant extracts in mammalian reproductive physiology has not been fully studied. This study therefore determined the effects of Sida cuneifolia root extracts on the reproductive systems of albino rats ...
AN EVALUATION OF A NUTRITION PROGRAM, POSITIVE DEVIANCE
(2016-05-23)
Positive Deviance Hearth program is designed to rehabilitate malnourished children, enable the families to sustain their rehabilitation at home on their own and to prevent malnutrition in younger siblings. However, PD ...
THE PERCEPTION OF INTERIOR DESIGN INDUSTRY ON THE RELEVANCE OF KENYAN INTERIOR DESIGN DIPLOMA PROGRAMMES
(2019-11-30)
Interior Design (ID) development and growth is being appreciated by many people today than it was in the past. This study evaluated Kenyan Interior Design Diploma Programmes (KIDDPs) on competence and skill training in ...
INTEGRATING STRIGA MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVED MAIZE PRODUCTION IN WESTERN KENYA
(2016-05-23)
Maize is an important crop in Kenya but is adversely affected by Striga hermonthica weed that reduces yields considerably, especially in Western Kenya. Single stand-alone management strategies for the weed have been used, ...
THE COMBINING ABILITY OF SINGLE CROSSES AND THEIR REACTION TO MAIZE LETHAL NECROSIS VIRUS
(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
(2019-11-30)
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 ...
