Determination of Potassium Levels in Intensive Subsistence Agricultural Soils in Nyamira County, Kenya
(2013)
Assessment of potassium levels in agricultural soils of Nyamira County, Kenya was necessitated by the observed progressive drops in maize acreage yields over the years despite use of phosphorus and nitrogenous fertilizers. ...
Tracking the Expression of Photosensitive Genic Male Sterility Gene in Rice
(2013-09)
Photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile rice lines contain genes that induce complete male sterility in high
temperature and long day light length period, but are male fertile under low temperature ...
Beneficiation of Iron in Thermal-Reduced Ilmenite by Magnetic Separation
(2013)
ncreasing demands for Iron in countries development, and lack of conventional reducing agents has resulted into sourcing
of alternative ways of beneficiating the iron ore. This paper reports on the study that was done ...
