Re-tooling Of Regression Kriging In R For Improved Digital Mapping Of Soil Properties.
(2014)Regression analysis and kriging are popular spatial estimation methods often used in soil science to provide soil information at different spatial resolutions and extent. Attempts have been made to combine them into a ... -
Reaction of green manure plants to root knot nematodes
(University of NairobiDepartment of plant science and crop protection, 2000)Green manure plants are increasingly being adopted for soil fertility improvement especially in low-input agriculture. Information on their reaction to plant parasitic nematodes is, however, scanty. Green manure plants, ... -
Reaction of Potato Cultivars to Natural Infestation of Late Blight Caused by Phytophthora infestans in Kenya
(University of NairobiCollege of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, 2008)The late blight resistance and yield characteristics of 32 potato genotypes were studied at KARI-Tigoni between 2006 and 2007 under natural late blight inoculums pressure.
