Nematode diversity and its association with soil properties in monocrop pigeon pea
(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
(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. ...
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) growth rate, oil yield and oil quality under differing soil amendments
(Heliyon, 2022)
In this work, we examined the influence of different soil amendments namely cow manure alone (Cm), cow
manure plus fertilizer (Cm þ F), fertilizer alone (F) and unamended check, control on rosemary growth rate, fat
content, ...
Nematode assemblages, food web indices and metabolic footprints in maize-pigeon pea agro-ecosystems.
(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 ...
Nutrient content of sorghum hybrid lines between Gadam and hard coat tannin sorghum cultivars
(Wiley, 2022-06)
Sorghum is an important food crop in the world that exhibits a predominant role in
fulfilling the nutritional requirements, particularly in low- income group populations of
marginal areas in Kenya. It is a principal ...
Performance assessment of Crosses between Gadam and Hardcore Tannin sorghum in hybrid lines production
(2022-06)
Gadam cultivar of sorghum has been characterized by low yields compared to the international yield levels
of sorghum. In this research, Gadam was crossed with Serena, Seredo, and Kari/Mtama-1 in an attempt to
increase ...
Nematode assemblages, food web indices and metabolic footprints in maize-pigeon pea agro-ecosystems
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-08-02)
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 ...
