Discovery of genomic regions associated with grain yield and agronomic traits in Bi-parental populations of maize (Zea mays. L) Under optimum and low nitrogen conditions
(Frontiers in Genetics, 2023-10)
Low soil nitrogen levels, compounded by the high costs associated with nitrogen
supplementation through fertilizers, significantly contribute to food insecurity,
malnutrition, and rural poverty in maize-dependent smallholder ...
Effect of Leaf Harvesting on Yield Parameters and Seed Quality of Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.)
(Journal of Crops, Livestock and Pests Management, 2023-10)
Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is an African Leafy Vegetable (ALV) which has a wide range of uses but mostly known as a fibre crop as opposed to vegetable. There is limited information on the seed quality aspects of kenaf ...
Changes in Seed Quality during Seed Development and Maturation of Bambara Nut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) Landraces
(International Journal of Agronomy, 2023-10)
%is study aimed at determining changes in the seed quality of bambara nut (BN) landraces during seed development and maturation so
as to more precisely time seed harvest for better seed quality. %ree bambara nut landraces, ...
Effects of Source and Rates of Potassium Fertilizer on Yield Traits and Potassium Use Efficiency of Potato in a Kenyan Ferralsol
(Asian Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 2023-09)
Aims: Potassium (K) is one of the nutrient elements taken up in large amounts by potatoes,
yet there is little research output on K fertilization of the crop in Kenya, due to the assumption
that its natural soil reserves ...
