(University of Nairobi, 1986)
Field evaluation showed oxydemeton methyl 25% E.C. at 0.6 kg a.i./ha and dimethoate 40% E.C. at 0.74 kg a.i./ha to be more effective than cypermethrin 40% E.C. at 0.25 kg a.i./ha, decamethrin 2.5% E.C. at 0.03 kg a.i./ha, ...
Enchancement of the CAMP reaction of Streptococcus agalactiae by the incorporation of milk whey and maltose in the solid medium.
(University of Nairobi,, 1983)
Enhancement of the CAMP reaction by heated milk whey and maltose when incorporated into a selective agar medium, the thallium crystal violet toxin medium (TKT), is described. Milk whey was prepared by enzyme coagulation ...
The evolution and prospects for farm mechanization in Kenya
(1986)
Increasing population pressure on land, farm structure, labour availability, private costs and benefits and the suitability of available technology have all influenced the form and intensity of farm mechanization. The study ...
