Canine parvovirus infection in Kenya
(University of Nairobi,, 1981)
The clinical signs, laboratory findings, treatment and pathology of 75 cases of canine parvovirus infection in Kenya are reviewed. All breeds and ages were affected but the disease was severer in young animals. Initial ...
Development and application of the counterimmunoelectrophoresis test for the immunodiagnosis of C. fetus infection in cattle.
(University of Nairobi,, 1983)
The counterimmunoelectrophoresis test (CIE) was developed for the diagnosis of C. fetus infection in cattle. It was positive in 8 of 10 cases where the vaginal mucus agglutination test (VMAT) and culture were also positive. ...
Correlations between yield and malting quality in barley
(University of Nairobi,, 1983)
Grain yield, three yield components and grain nitrogen and moisture contents were investigated in a diallel cross, without reciprocals, involving four two-rowed and three six-rowed varieties. Grain yield/plant and ears/plant ...
The Effect of Phosphorus on Nodulation, Growth and Dinitrogen Fixation by Beans
(1983)
The effect of phosphorus on nodulation, dry matter yield and dinitrogen fixation (as determined by the 15N technique) of bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) was evaluated in a field experiment at three growth stages. Application ...
Effect of latent infection on the spread of bacterial wilt of potatoes in Kenya
(1984)
Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) were grown at areas of high and low altitude and then inoculated with Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith 1896, Smith 1914) biochemical types II and III. About 90% of the inoculated plants at ...
Nitrogen fixation in tropical agriculture and forestry
(1987)
Nitrogen compounds comprise from 40 to 50 percent of the dry matter of protoplasm, the living substance of plant cells. For this reason, nitrogen is required in large quantities by growing plants and is indeed the key to ...
Nitrogen level and cultivar effects on nodulation, dinitrogen fixation and yield of grain legumes: II. Common bean cultivars.
(1985)
N fixation was studied by the 15N method in Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Rose Coco, Canadian Wonder and Mwezi Moja grown in the field and given 0, 20 or 100 kg N/ha. Nodulation, DM yield and seed yield did not differ significantly ...
Reactions of cultivars of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to bean common mosaic virus (BCMV)
(1988-04)
3 plants of each cultivar were raised in pots filled with sterile soil, 451 bean cultivars were tested in all. Inoculum was prepared from 30-day-old plants of P. vulgaris. Seedlings of test varieties were inoculated when ...
Effects of plant density and phosphate levels on growth, yield and yield components of field beans phaseolus vulgaris l.
(1982)
Field bean (Phaseolusvulgaris)grown mainly for its
protein rich dry bean seeds, is the most important
legume and the second most important crop in Kenya.
Bean yields have been shown to be increased by
phosphate fertilizers ...
