Effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal inoculation on Biomass, Nutrient Uptake, Root Infectivity and Soil Colonization of Papaya (Carica papaya L.) Seedlings
(International Journal of Environment, Agriculture and Biotechnology, 2020-10)
Abstract— The effect of Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi on biomass accumulation, nutrient uptake,
mycorrhizal root infectivity and soil colonization was determined in Papaya (Carica papaya) seedlings raised
under four ...
Determination of the Effect of Harvesting Interval on the Growth and Leaf Yield of Rattlebox (Crotalaria Ochroleuca)
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology (AJEST), 2021-05)
Crotalaria addresses the problem of food security and forms part of a substantial proportion of diets. The production of Crotalaria ochroleuca ("rattlebox") has been on the decline in the Western and North Rift regions of ...
Evaluation of Morphological Attributes in Tea Progenies Arising from Gamma-Treated Seeds
(Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), 2020-06)
A key step in characterization of germplasm is the identification of phenotypic variation present in a given population. A study was carried out to determine the effect of different dosages of gamma rays (50 and 100Gy) on ...
Allelopathic effect of Niger Plant (Guizotia abyssinica L.) on abundance of selected weeds
(2018)
Plants release many secondary metabolites to the environment that can be
harnessed for important uses. These secondary metabolites are known as
allelochemicals. The current worldwide demand for cheaper, more ...
Determination of Types and Quantities of Secondary Metabolites in Niger Plant (Guizotia Abyssinica L) Found Within Moiben Sub – County, Kenya
(International Journal of Innovative research and development, 2018)
Plants are a major source of active chemical constituents that can be used against other plants. From natural ecosystems, it
has been found that exudates from some plants influence the growth and development of other ...
EFFECT OF SPACING ON QUALITY AND YIELD OF JUTE MALLOW (Corchorus olitorius) PHENOTYPES IN KENYA
(Afr. J. Hort. Sci, 2018)
Local vegetables are important crops grown in many parts of African countries including
Kenya. They are at times given various names depending on their where about grown, for
example, Corchorus olitorius is also known ...
INFLUENCE OF Trichoderma harzianum FROM SEMI-ARID SOILS ON MAIZE SEED GERMINATION AND EARLY SEEDLING GROWTH UNDER WATER STRESS
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Water stress is one of the major constraints on plant productivity worldwide and is
projected to aggravate with climatic changes while human population is at its exponential
phase. On the other hand, Trichoderma spp. ...
Effect of Harvesting Stages and Nitrogen on Seed Quality and Yield of Jute Mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.)
(International Journal of Horticultural Science and Technology, 2020)
Production of high quality seeds in African leafy vegetables has not been practiced due to
varying reasons including incorrect harvesting stages and fertilizer rates. Jute mallow
(Corchorus olitorius L.) pods do not ...
GENETIC ANALYSIS AND SELECTION FOR PHOSPHORUS EFFICIENCY IN KENYAN MAIZE (Zea mays L.).
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
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 ...
SCREENING FRENCH BEAN GENOTYPES (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) USING PHENOTYPIC AND SEQUENCE TAGGED SITE (STS) MOLECULAR MARKER FOR ANGULAR LEAF SPOT (Pseudocercospora griseola) RESISTANCE
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
French bean, a sub-group of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), is grown
for its tender green pods and consumed as a green vegetable. It is a major export
crop in Kenya but production levels are constrained by ...
