5 Infrared Drying
(CRC Press, 2010-07-26)
This chapter will present the mechanism, techniques, and advantages of infrared (IR) drying
for various food and agricultural products. The propagation of IR radiation from a source
(considered as any material at a ...
The Potential of Organic and Inorganic Nutrient Sources in Sub-Saharan African Crop Farming Systems
(2012-02)

Local and landscape effects on bee functional guilds in pigeon pea crops in Kenya
(Springer, 2015-07)
Pollinators face many challenges within agricultural systems due to landscape changes and intensification which can affect resource availability that can impact pollination services. This paper examines pigeon pea pollination ...
The effects of exchange rate liberalization in Kenya on French beans exports
(Pak Publishing Group, 2014)
The adoption of a floating exchange rate system in Kenya was an effort to make it more aligned to the market determined equilibrium rate. However, there is limited empirical evidence that success has since been achieved ...
The Utility of Aerial Pan-Trapping for Assessing Insect Pollinators Across Vertical Strata
(2011)
Insect pollinators provide a critical ecosystem service by pollinating many wild flowers and crops. It is therefore essential to be able to effectively survey and monitor pollinator communities across a range of habitats, ...
Molecular genotyping of selected soybean (Glycine max L.) genotypes grown in different regions of East Africa
(2010)
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) is one of the most popular pulses
because of its protein content and nodulating ability. However, most farmers and
researchers do not have sufficient genetic information of the genotypes ...
Utilization of proteins and nucleic acids in the study of gene function: a comparative review
(2010)
Proteomics is one of the fastest growing areas in areas of research, largely because the global-scale analysis of proteins is expected to yield more direct understanding of function and regulation than analysis of genes. ...
The diversity of rural livelihoods and their influence on soil fertility in agricultural systems of East Africa – A typology of smallholder farms
(2010)
Technological interventions to address the problem of poor productivity of smallholder
agricultural systems must be designed to target socially diverse and spatially heterogeneous farms and farming systems. This paper ...
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 ...
