Antimicrobial Activity of Foliar Fertilizer Formulations and their Effect on Ice Nucleation Activity of Pseudomonas syringae Pv. garcae Van Hall; the Causal Agent of Bacterial Blight of Coffee
(Academic Journals, 2011)
This study was carried out with the broad objective of assessing the potential for control of Bacterial Blight of Coffee (BBC) using foliar fertilizer applications to Inhibit Ice Nucleation Activity (INA) of the causative ...
Yield Selection within Coffea arabica cv. Ruiru 11
(SCIENCEDOMAIN international, 2012-08-17)
Aims: This study was aimed at identifying high yielding Ruiru 11 sibs in varying growing
conditions. The study also intended to measure the extent to which cherry yields of Ruiru
11 are affected by the environment. Study ...
Early Assessment of Growth and Yield Characters of five newly developed lines of Arabica Coffee in two environments and spacings 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, ...
Occurrence of Ck-1 gene conferring resistance to Coffee Berry Disease in Coffea arabica cv. Ruiru 11 and its parental genotypes
(Scienceweb Publishing, 2014-03)
Resistance to Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) in Coffea arabica cv. Ruiru 11 is known to be controlled by among others, the T (Ck-1) gene from Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora Pierre). The cultivar reportedly presents significant ...
Effect of Different Watering Regimes on Agromorphology of Selected Coffee Genotypes
(SCIENCEDOMAIN international, 2014-01-27)
Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different watering regimes on
selected coffee genotypes and to evaluate drought tolerance among selected coffee
genotypes. The study also aimed at determining ...
Yield of three Commercial Watermelon Cultivars in Kenya as compared to a local landrace
(2010)
High yield is a major goal for watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) breeders. The
objective of this study was to measure the yield potential of some watermelon
accessions available in Kenya and identify high yielding ones for ...
Selection of Ruiru 11 hybrid sibs on raw coffee quality
(2012-06)
The economic value of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is determined mainly by the yield potential, the size and shape of raw beans and beverage quality. Bean quality reportedly differ depending on the variety, environmental ...
Drought and heat tolerance in coffee: a review
(2012-12)
Climatic variability is the main factor responsible for the fluctuations in the coffee yield in the world. The relationships between the climatic parameters and the agricultural production are quite complex, because ...
Mathematical Modelling of Thin Layer Drying Kinetics of Onion Slices Hot-air Convection, Infrared Radiation and Combined Infrared- Convection Drying
(AENSI Publisher, 2014)
Onion slices were dried in convection hot-air, infrared radiation and combined infraredconvection
hot air dryers. A systematic experimental design was applied to analyse
drying kinetics due to the effect of type of dryer, ...
Influence of large woody debris accumulations on macro invertebrate distribution in a low order forested tropical stream, Sagana river, Kenya
(Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, 2014)
Woody debris accumulations are important ecological components in low order
forested streams. They provide forage and refuge for a macroinvertebrates, which
are key trophic components for riverine fish. The occurrence ...
