The influence of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer levels on growth, development and yield of potatoes (solanum tuberosum L.)
(1983)
This thesis is the subject of work conducted during
1980 short rains and 1981 long rains to investigate the
influence of nitrogen and phosphate fertiliser rates
and their interaction on growth, development and yield
of ...
Legionella and legiollosis: an overview and a preliminary study in Kenya.
(1987)
Several Legionella species have been recognized as human
pathogens for more than a decade. The manifestations of
legionellosis vary from asymptomatic seroconversion or mild
febrile illness to severe, fatal pneumonic ...
Effects of moisture regime and weeding frequency on growth and yield of upland rice
(1982)
Low Soil moisture and weed competition are
often cited as factors which seriously Lf.mi t;
the production of upland rice. A study was
conducted to investigate the effect of
moisture regime and weeding frequency on
,growth ...
Modified atmosphere packaging of freshwater fish
(1986)
A preservation method that could extend the shelflife of fresh, freshwater fish would be of
nutritional and economic importance to a nation like Kenya, where 90% of all the fish landed
comes from the freshwater environment, ...
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 ...
The trophic relations and habitat adaptability of livestock in the central part of Rendille land in Kenya
(1984)
In arid and semi-arid areas animal production has been the most
and, sometimes, the only productive use of the land. Most of northern
Kenya is destined to remain rangeland due to the low and unpredictable
rainfall. ...
Study on outliers in factorial design of experiments
(University of Nairobi, 1984-06)
In this dissertation, we discuss the sensitivity of optimum balanced
2m fractional designs of resolutiun V to outliers using the measure suggested
by Box and Draper (1975). In addition, we define a new measure of
robustness ...
