(2009)
The Morphology of the male reproductive system of rufous sengi was studied
using light and electron microscopy while the testicular morphometry was studied
using stereological techniques. The system consisted of ...
Substrates evaluation and effects of ph and nutritional supplementation on production of oyster mushroom (pleurotus ostreatus)
(2009)
Mushrooms have been grown all over the world for many years because of their
culinary, medicinal, bioremediation and biodegradation properties. Lack of locally
generated information on substrates for oyster mushroom ...
Factors Influencing Shift from Pastoralism to Irrigated Agriculture and its Impact on Soil Quality in Kajiado
(2009)
Crop cultivation in the arid and semiarid ecosystems is mainly constrained by inadequate and
unreliable rainfall. Smallholder irrigation in such areas is therefore necessary to supplement
l rainfall to meet crop water ...
