Soils of the Highland and Mountainous Areas of Kenya with Special Emphasis on Agricultural Soils
(1988)
Kenya's landscape is of great topographic diversity, rising from sea level to 5,199 m a.s.l. at the summit of Mount Kenya. Climate, geology, and relief have created different agro-climatic zones with highly variable soil ...
The prevalence of coccidia of goats in Ol'magogo farm in Kenya
(1989-01)
A short survey was carried out to determine the validity of the identification based on the morphology of the unsporulated and sporulated oocysts and to ascertain the types of species infecting goats in the farm in 1910 ...
Light microscopic morphometry of the kidneys of fourteen avian species.
(Univesity of Nairobi, 1989-02)
Kidney volume and the volume proportions of the cortex, medulla, blood vessels larger than capillaries and ureter and ureteral ducts were investigated in 61 birds from 14 species representing passeriformes, psittaciformes, ...
Mechanizing land preparation for maize production in Kenya
(1987)
This study evaluates alternative methods of land preparation for maize production on farms in western Kenya, the results of which may be applicable to regions of similar conditions. People, oxen, and tractors are the three ...
Sonic extracts of Brucella melitensis as antigens in complement fixation and indirect haemagglutination tests
(University of Nairobi,, 1980)
A soluble antigenic extract of Brucella melitensis strain 16 M was assessed for reactivity in complement fixation and indirect haemagglutination tests in six experimentally infected goats. Tanned, glutaraldehyde-fixed sheep ...
Changes in saturated hydraulic conductivity in selected soils of Kenya irrigated with waters of variable salt content.
(University of Nairobi,, 1986)
Data for a Pellic Vertisol, a Chromic Luvisol and an Orthic Ferralsol showed that saturated hydraulic conductivity would be seriously affected by irrigation waters with SAR values in excess of 10.0, 14.8 and 28.9 respectively
A study on the merits of separating tropical soils into groups and using different chemical extractants for different groups in the routine measurement of available soil phosphorus.
(University of Nairobi,, 1983)
Ten extractants were used for measuring the available phosphorus in 24 tropical soils, and the extractable P values were correlated against plant parameters obtained from a 170-day continuous cropping experiment and a ...
Profile characteristics, and form and surface activity of inorganic phosphorus in a deep red Kenya coffee soil (Nitosol)
(1986)
The paper examines some of the physical and chemical properties of a deep red friable clay profile (Nitosol) developed in the Kenya highlands over trachyte. This soil is widely planted to coffee. The profile is remarkable ...
The effects of vegetation type on infiltration rate and sediment production
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1989)
In field trials, infiltration rates were consistently greater and sediment production lower under Grewia bicolor than under Chloris roxburghiana and bare ground. The vegetation-related variables were positively correlated ...
