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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Occurrence and distribution of soil nematodes in cotton production areas of Kenya.
(2010)
A baseline survey was conducted to determine the occurrence and distribution of soil nematodes associated with cotton in major growing areas in Kenya. Such baseline data on soil nematode abundance, diversity and ecosystem ...
Evaluating diversity among Kenyan sweet potato genotypes using morphological and SSR markers
(2010)
Genetic diversity of 89 sweet potato genotypes was evaluated using morphological and
molecular markers. Eighteen aerial and sixteen storage root characters were used in the
morphological characterization. Analysis of ...
Methods for early evaluation for resistance to bacterial blight of coffee
(Academic Journals, 2013)
Bacterial Blight of Coffee (BBC) caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv garcae has become of major concern in Kenya due to its increasing incidence and severity. For decades, the disease was confined within and to the west of ...
INFLUENCE OF LARGE WOODY DEBRIS ACCUMULATIONS ON MACROINVERTEBRATE 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 ...
Hepatitis B virus subgenotype A1, occurrence of subgenotype D4, and S gene mutations among voluntary blood donors in Kenya
(Springer, 2013-05-24)
Kenya is one of the high endemic zones for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The consensuses on prevalence of the HBV genotypes and the existence of their
variants have not been fully established in Kenya. Hence, there ...
Genetic diversity among commercial coffee varieties, advanced selections and museum collections in Kenya using molecular markers
(Academic Journals, 2012-02)
Molecular markers have effectively been applied to study genetic diversity and as markers of particular traits. This study assessed the diversity of twenty four (24) coffee genotypes using 10 Random Amplified Polymorphic ...
Characterization of antibiotic resistance in environmental enteric pathogens from Kibera slum in Nairobi-Kenya
(2012-08)
Kibera slum is characterized by poor sanitation hence the frequent outbreaks of diarrheal diseases. Emergence of antibiotic resistance by diarrhoea-causing bacteria is an inevitable challenge in the area. Diarrhea-causing ...
