Assessment of Genetic Variability Estimates of selected Traits in Irish Potato Mutants
Emmy, Chepkoech; et. al. (Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology, 2018)For an effective potato breeding strategy, knowledge of the genetic parameters of traits, such as heritabilities and genetic correlations are essential, hence the need to assess the genetic variability estimates of ... -
Attempt to Model Tuberculosis with the Effects of Both Treatment and Case Detection
Wanyonyi, Samson, W.; et.al... (Asian Research Journal of Mathematics, 2019)Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that usually affect the lungs. It is caused by bacteria and spread through the air. Due to the high rate of spread and later leads to death due to TB, this led to formulation of ... -
Characterization of effect of Gamma ray on morpho-Agronomic traits of dolichos Lablab (Lablabpurpureus I.) sweet
Kimno, S. K.; et al. (Journal of Experimental Agriculture International, 2021-09)Lablab purpureus (L.) Synonym Dolichos lablab (L.) Sweet; is a minor and an important multipurpose legume. Despite this it classified as an orphaned crop hence few studies on its improvement have been undertaken. Limited ... -
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
Kimutai, Collins; et al. (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 ... -
Efficiency of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo), sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua) and amaranth (Amaranthus dubius) in removing nutrients from a smallscale recirculating aquaponic system
Gichana, Zipporah; et. al... (Aquaculture International Research Journal, 2019)In aquaponic systems, plants absorb dissolved nutrients from aquaculture wastewater for their growth. The removal of nutrients allows reuse of water and minimises wastewater discharge to the surrounding environment. This ... -
Ethnomedical Survey of the Plants Used by TraditionalHealers in Narok County, Kenya
Kigen, Gabriel; et.al... (Hindawi - Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2019)Most of the plants used by herbalists amongst the various Kenyan communities have not been documented despite their widespread use. The purpose of this research was to document the medicinal plants used by the herbalists ... -
Evaluation of Proximate and Mineral Composition of Mutant Dolichos Lablab (Lablab purpureus L.) Accessions in Kenya
Kimno, S. K.; et al. (Journal of Experimental Agriculture International, 2021-08)Plant breeding through induced mutation technology is a potent method to creating new variants of food crops with of desirable phenotypic, genetic and biochemical functions. It is a catalyst in developing improved crop ... -
Factors Influencing Subsidized Fertilizer Access andUse Intensity onSmall Holder Farmers inTrans Nzoia County
Barasa, Augustine, W.; et. al... (International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science (IJRIS, 2019)Low crop yields as a result of inadequate application of fertilizer remains to be a challengelimiting optimum crop production especially among smallholder farmers in Kenya. The government of Kenya, ... -
Genetic diversity of elite wheat mutant lines using morphological characters and molecular markers
Chemwok, Philip K.; et al. (African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2019-09)Genetic diversity is the material basis for crop improvement. The genetic diversity of 17 wheat genotypes was evaluated using 25 agro-morphological characters and 10 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The objective ... -
Genetic Variability, Heritability and Genetic Advance of Yield and Yield Contributing Characters in Putative M2 Dolichos Bean (Lablab purpureus L.) Accessions
Kimno, S. K.; et al. (Asian Journal of Advances in Agricultural Research, 2023-03)Dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus L.) is a multipurpose, orphan leguminous crop in Kenya .It is characterized with narrow genetic diversity and low yield output. Use of nuclear techniques such as gamma ray induction in ... -
Measuring Consumer interest in Sorghum Composite Flours in Western Kenya.
Mugalavai, Violet; et. al. (International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2019)In western Kenya, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) remains an important crop for rural food and nutrition security. Sorghum is a rich source of various phytochemicals including tannins, phenolic acids, anthocyanins and phytosterols ... -
