The influence of defoliation and deblossoming on growth and runner production in strawberry (fragaria ananassa dutch) in Kenya
(1987)
Asexual propagation of strawberry in Kenya is difficult due to the limited runner production by the available cultivars. Lowe runner production occurs because of the short day condition, which induces continuous flowering. ...
Species identification of fresh meat, heat-treated meat and internal organs using antisera to thermostable antigens
(University of Nairobi, 1987)
Unequivocal identification of fresh meat and heat-treated
meat is of special concern to food analysts and game
conservation authorities. The food analyst has to provide
proof of fraudulent substitution of more expensive ...
Prediction of erosion rates and the effects of topsoil thickness on soil productivity
(1987-01)
Part one of this study involved the determination
of quantitative parameters for predicting
erosion rates using runoff plots. The treatments on
the runoff plots included: Bare fallow, maize with
minimum tillage, maize ...
Morphology, Haemolysis and Environmental sources of catalase-positive Campylobacters
(1987-09)
Literature relating to the isolation, identification
and importance of catalase-positive campylobacters is reviewed
and the need for further work emphasized. Campylobacters
have been isolated directly, or after enrichment, ...

Interaction in intercropped Coffea Arabica L. and Phaseoulus Vulgaris L.
(1987)
Three experiments were conducted on intercropping beans with
low and high density Arabica coffee trees pruned to different canopy
densities. Growth and yield components of bean plants were measured
while clean coffee ...
Studies on genotypic variation in biological nitrogen fixation in pigeonpea (cajanus Cajan L. millsp) inoculated by various rhizobia strains and phosphate fertilizer application in kenya
(1987)
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp) is an important pulse crop
in the semi-arid areas in Kenya because of its drought tolerance, wide
adaptability and as a source of protein. Low grain yields have been partly
attributed ...
