Effect of time of Azolla incorporation and inorganic fertilizer application on growth and yield of Basmati rice
(Academic Journals, 2020-03)
Azolla tissue contains 5% N, which is slowly released into the soil upon decomposition. Timing of
incorporation is therefore important for maximum benefit to a crop. The effect of time to incorporate
Azolla biomass on ...
Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Azolla Accessions in Kenya
(Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2020-05)
Background. Azolla Lam., a mosquito fern, is invasive in major rice growing Schemes in Kenya, where it clogs
irrigation canals and forms dense mats in paddy fields. However, the species of Azolla has not been established. ...
Mycorrhiza co-association with Aspilia pruliseta Schweif. and phosphorus uptake effects on growth of gadam sorghum in the semi-arid lower Eastern Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2020-08)
Mycorrhiza fungi are important components of soil microbiota in the rhizosphere and greatly influence
the uptake of mineral elements by plants. A greenhouse experiment was conducted at the University of
Embu to evaluate ...
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Colonization in the Rhizosphere of Aspilia pruliseta Schweif. ext Schweif in the Semiarid Eastern Kenya
(Sage, 2020-09)
The use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to enhance soil phosphate uptake is a biological technique considered to cure
phosphate deficiency in soils. This study investigated association of Aspilia pruliseta Schweif ...
