Identifying Morpho-Physiological Characteristics Associated with Drought Tolerance in Selected Chikpea Germ Plasm in Nakuru and Baringo Counties, Kenya
(2013-11)
This paper examines the morpho-physiological characteristics of chickpea associated with drought tolerance based on a study of selected chickpea lines under field conditions in Nakuru and Baringo counties in Kenya. Drought ...
Identifying Morpho-Physiological Characteristics Associated with Drought Tolerance in Selected Chikpea Germ Plasm in Nakuru and Baringo Counties, Kenya
(2013-11)
tolerance based on a study of selected chickpea lines under field conditions in Nakuru and Baringo counties in Kenya. Drought has been spreading to more land in Kenya over the years due to climatic change attributed to ...
A global quantitative synthesis of local and landscape effects on wild bee pollinators in agroecosystems
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)
Bees provide essential pollination services that are potentially affected both by local farm management and the surrounding landscape. To better understand these different factors, we modelled the relative effects of ...
Effect of Bt cotton expressing Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab2 protein on soil nematode community assemblages in Mwea, Kenya
(2013)
Objective: The nematode community structure in soil cultivated with Bt cotton (containing
Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab2 protein), isoline (non Bt cotton) and HART 89M (non Bt cotton) was
evaluated in a field trial at Ndomba in the ...
Humidity Control System for Wine Maturation Structures
(2013-12-13)
Abstract. Fogging systems can be used to maintain the high humidity required in wine aging structures at acceptable levels during the day and as long as temperature inside the wine maturation store is rising. However, as ...
Production of Hybrid Basmati Rice in Kenya: Progress and Challenges
(2013)
Photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile (PGMS) and Thermosensitive genic male
sterile (TGMS) rice varieties require a long day light length and high temperature
respectively growth conditions for them to be completely ...
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 ...
Molecular Characterisation and Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Escherichia Coliisolates from Goats Slaughtered in Parts of Kenya

coli on goat meat carcass at Huruma and Kiserian abattoirs in Kenya.
Design: Laboratory based study.
Setting: Huruma and Kiserian ...

Evaluation of photoperiod and thermosensitive genic male sterile lines for hybrid rice seeds production in Kenya
(2013)
Photo–thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (P(T)GMS) rice is a new hybrid rice technology that uses prolonged light length and high temperatures to induce sterility. This technology is being introduced in Kenya but such ...
