    A survey of root knot nematodes and resistance to Meloidogyne incognita in sweet potato varieties from Kenyan fields 

    Karuri, Hannah W.; Olago, Daniel; Neilson, Roy; Mararo, Enock; Villinger, Jandouwe (Elsevier, 2016-11)
    The root knot nematode, Meloidogyne is one of the most economically damaging plant parasitic nematode groups, and are widely distributed in Kenyan agro-ecosystems. The aim of this study was to determine the diversity of ...

    Nematode metabolic footprints, ecological and functional indices in tropical maize-beans agro-ecosystems under different farming practices 

    Maina, Samuel N.; Karuri, Hannah W.; Ng'endo, Rossa N. (Elsevier, 2020-10)
    Maize and beans contribute significantly to food security in Kenya. Farming practices used in production of these crops may affect nematode community assemblages and influence agricultural productivity. Information on ...

    Plant parasitic nematode assemblages associated with sweet potato in Kenya and their relationship with environmental variables 

    Karuri, Hannah W.; Olago, Daniel; Neilson, Roy; Njeri, Editah; Opere, Alfred; Ndegwa, Paul (Springer, 2016-11)
    Sweet potato is one of the most important staple food crops consumed in Kenya and throughout Africa but yields are greatly reduced by plant parasitic nematodes (PPN). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence ...

    Response of Selected Kenyan Rice Cultivars to Infection by Root Knot Nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) 

    Namu, John; Alakonya, Amos; Karuri, Hannah W.; Nyaga, Justin; Masanga, Joel; Njeri, Editah (2019-03)
    Meloidogyne incognita causes huge yield losses in rice which is the third most important cereal crop in Kenya. The aim of this study was to identify M. incognita-resistant rice cultivars from Kenya and relate the responses ...

    Nematode diversity and its association with soil properties in monocrop pigeon pea 

    Maina, Samuel; Karuri, Hannah W.; Mugweru, Julius (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 ...

    Impact of low-cost management techniques on population dynamics of plant-parasitic nematodes in sweet potato 

    Maina, Hellen; Karuri, Hannah W.; Rotich, Felix; Nyabuga, Franklin N. (Elsevier, 2020-07)
    Sweet potato is an important food security crop but its production is limited by various biotic constraints including plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN). In Kenya, current PPN management practices in sweet potato have several ...

    Free-living nematode assemblages associated with maize residues and their ecological significance 

    Karuri, Hannah W.; Maina, Samuel; Nyoike, Rossa N. (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. ...

    Land use effects on termite assemblages in Kenya 

    Kanyi, Nahashon Chege; Karuri, Hannah W.; Nyasani, Johnson O.; Mwangi, Benson (Heliyon, 2021-12)
    Termites perform key ecological functions and they also cause crop damage. Land use change resulting from agricultural intensification can result in changes in termite species diversity and abundance. Termite species occurring ...

    Root and soil health management approaches for control of plant-parasitic nematodes in sub-Saharan Africa 

    Karuri, Hannah W. (Elsevier, 2021-10)
    Smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) face several challenges that include pests and diseases. Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) reduce crop yields and affect their quality. They are an emerging threat to smallholder ...

    Nematode assemblages, food web indices and metabolic footprints in maize-pigeon pea agro-ecosystems. 

    Maina, Samuel; Karuri, Hannah W.; Mugweru, Julius (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 ...
