Susceptibility of Kenyan wheat varieties to head blight, fungal invation and Deoxynivalenol accumulation inoculated with Fusarium graminearum
(2002)
Fifteen wheat varieties commercially grown in Kenya were tested for their susceptibility to head blight and mycotoxin accumulation after inoculation with Fusarium gramineanuu in pot experiments. The strain or the pathogen ...
The effect of Pellet fertilizer application on Wheat Yield and its Components
(2010)
Increased use of fertilizer nitrogen (N) in agricultural production continues to raise concerns, because of the risk of surplus N leaving the plant-soil system and thereby causing environmental contamination. Therefore, ...
Evaluation of bread wheat for both seedling and adult plant resistance to stem rust
(2012)
Wheat is an important staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the current wheat consumption of 900 000 tons in Kenya outweighs the wheat production of 350 000 tons given the high population growth and inflation. ...
The occurrence of Fusarium species and mycotoxins in Kenyan wheat
(2008)
presence of head blight-causing Fusarium species. Fungal contaminationwas determined by isolation on
agar media, while mycotoxin analysis was by direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
(ELISA). The wheat ...
Efficacy of Biological Control and Cultivar Resistance on Fusarium Head Blight and T-2 Toxin Contamination in Wheat
(© 2012 SciRes., 2012-02)
Laboratory and green house experiments were carried out to evaluate the efficacy of fungicides, biological agents and host resistance in managing FHB and the associated T-2 toxin. In vitro activity of fungicides and ...
Simulation of Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer in Granular Porous Media: Application to the Drying of Wheat
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
A mathematical model was developed to simulate the deep-bed convective drying of Algerian wheat and barley using the characteristics of the selected local varieties. The nonequilibrium model, composed of a system of partial ...
