(University of Eldoret, 2023-10)
Dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet 2n=22 or 24 is a multipurpose legume mainly grown and used as a pulse, forage feed and in soil amendment for nitrogen fixation and green manure. Practically, it still yields below ...
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF A PROTOTYPE VARIABLE PITCH IRISH POTATO GRADER
(University of Eldoret, 2023-10)
The manual grading of potatoes in Kenya has resulted in inconsistencies, quality variations and financial losses for small-scale farmers due to low market prices for ungraded products. To mitigate these challenges, this ...
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 ...
