Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction analysis of genotype x environmental interaction among sweetpotato genotypes
(2009-04-08)Sweetpotato is an important food, feed and cash crop in Eastern Africa. Highly stable and adaptable genotypes are important in sweetpotato productivity and evaluation across sites would form a basis for breeding varieties ... -
Alternative methods of harvesting and storage of grass biomass in a semi-arid region
(Academic Journals, 2012-04-12)Biomass is considered a potential feedstock for many renewable energy production systems and interest especially in grass production has increased markedly in the last two decades. The present work focuses on grass biomass ... -
Early performance of five newly developed lines of Arabica Coffee under varying environment and spacing in Kenya
(2010)Knowledge of the effects of environment and genotype by environment (GxE) interaction is important to breeders in making decisions regarding the release of new cultivars. Five Coffea arabica lines coded CR8, CR22, CR23, ... -
Effects of Tillage Method and Sowing Time on Growth, Water Use and Yield of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in Kenyan Dry
(Egerton University, 2007)The need to provide sufficient protein food for an increasing population that is mainly resource poor requires opening up of marginal land for growing appropriate pulsessuch as chickpea. An experiment was ... -
