    Nematode diversity and its association with soil properties in monocrop pigeon pea 

    Maina, Samuel; Karuri, Hannah W.; Mugweru, Julius (Elsevier, 2022-08)
    Pigeon pea is a versatile pulse crop grown in semi-arid regions of Kenya; however, its production is affected by plant-parasitic nematodes. The current study was undertaken to investigate the diversity of nematodes and ...

    Free-living nematode assemblages associated with maize residues and their ecological significance 

    Karuri, Hannah W.; Maina, Samuel; Nyoike, Rossa N. (2021)
    Return of plant residues to the soil is a sustainable way of enhancing plant growth, health, and levels of soil quality. In Kenya, maize plant residues are the most commonly returned plant material in many agro-ecosystems. ...

    Nematode assemblages, food web indices and metabolic footprints in maize-pigeon pea agro-ecosystems. 

    Maina, Samuel; Karuri, Hannah W.; Mugweru, Julius (Elsevier, 2022-08)
    Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) are important food crops in developing countries due to their multiple benefits. However, their production is constrained by plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) which ...
