(2011)African indigenous leafy vegetables (AILV’s) are known for their importance in providing vitamins and minerals, and are largely grown by small scale farmers. They also play a crucial role in income generation and ... -
Genetic Diversity And Patterns Of Relationships In Kenyan Sorghum Landraces As Assessed By Simple Sequence Repeat Markers
(2011)Lack of genetic diversity data for Kenyan sorghum germplasm makes it difficult to manage and utilize its genetic resources. The main objective of this study was to assess the extent and structure of variability in sorghum ... -
Effect Of Ratooning On Growth, Lint Yield And Quality Of Cotton In Mwea, Kirinyaga South District
(2011)Cultivation of ratoon cotton is becoming a common management practice in eastern and coastal areas of Kenya, but its effects on lint yield and quality of cotton varieties in Kenya has not been established. Field experiments ... -
Cassava Starch As An Alternative Low Cost Gelling Agent For Slow Growth In Vitro Conservation Of Potato
(2011)Lack of cost-effective protocols has hampered wide-scale application of slow growth in vitro conservation of potato. Therefore, the potential of cassava starch as an alternative low cost gelling agent for potato in vitro ... -
Effects Of Seed Borne Virus Infections On Selected Potato Cultivars In Kenya
(2011)Seed borne viruses are a major problem to seed and ware potato growers because they cause yield depression and reduction in quality of tubers. The effects of seed borne virus infections in 34 potato cultivars selected ... -
Integrated Management Of Groundnut Rosette Disease
(2011)The ground rosette virus disease (GRD) is the most devastating disease of groundnuts and it is transmitted by aphids. Identification of methods of controlling the disease would improve groundnut productivity. A researcher ... -
The Impact Of Planting Density And Weeding Regimes On Maize As A Food And Fodder Crop
(2011)Dairy farmers in Kenya grow maize for forage and food. They use maize planting density, weeding regimes and thinning to regulate the quantity of forage from both maize and weeds. The objective of this work was to evaluate ... -
Performance Of Farmer-preferred Maize Varieties Intercropped With Beans In Semi-arid Kenya
(2011)Recurrent droughts have resulted to increased maize crop failures and food insecurity especially in semi-arid regions of Kenya. To cope, farmers are advised to adopt drought tolerant maize varieties and maize-legume ...
