A review of the Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) technique in genotyping and DNA fingerprinting studies
(2008)
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) is a marker based on polymerase chain reaction
amplification of restricted fragments ligated to synthetic adaptors and amplified using primers which carry
selective nucleotides ...
Reaction of Some Kenyan Maize Genotypes to Turcicum Leaf Blight Under Greenhouse and Field Conditions
(2007)
Fifty seven maize lines comprising 23 open pollinated, 30 hybrids and 4 inbreed lines were evaluated for resistance to Turcicum leaf blight both under greenhouse and field conditions. For greenhouse evaluation, the genotypes ...
Diversity and abundance of nematodes in agroecosystems of Kenya
(2004)
A review of nematodes associated with crops has revealed that almost every crop or group of crops is attacked by one or several nematode pests, which cause economic losses in heavily infested fields. The most commonly ...
Potential of using entomopathogenic nematodes in the management of diamondback moth Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera:Plutellidae) in Kenya
(University of Nairobi., 2007)
Laboratory studies were conducted on diamondback moth (DBM) larvae,
Plutella xylostella
(Linnaeus)
(Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) using five different entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNS) isolates obtaine

Genetic Diversity of Phaeoisariopsis griseola in Kenya as Revealed by AFLP and Group-specific Primers
(2004)
Genetic diversity of 50 Phaeoisariopsis griseola isolates collected from different agroecological zones in Kenya was studied using group-specific primers and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Group-specific ...
Effects of Canavalia ensiformis and Mucuna pruriens intercrops on Pratylenchus zeae damage and yield of maize in subsistence agriculture
(2006-06)
Host status of four leguminous cover crops [Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC. (Jack bean), Crotalaria ochroleuca G. Don (Sunnhemp), Lablab purpureus L. (Hyacinth bean) and Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC. (velvet bean)] to Pratylenchus ...

Assessing the role of organic soil amendments in management of rootknotnematodes on common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L.
(2004)
A greenhouse study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of animal manures, cow and chicken manures, and green manures, Mucuna pruriens, Azadirachta indica and Tagetes minuta in root knot nematode suppression. The ...
Infectious structures and response of maize plants to invasion by Exserohilum turcicum (Pass). in compatible and incompatible host pathogen systems.
(2008)
Objective: To study the differential response of corn leaves to invasion by Exserohilum turcicum comparing compatible and incompatible host-pathogen systems. Methodology and results: Maize leaves excised from 14 day-old ...
Distribution of Turcicum leaf blight of maize in Kenya and cultural variability of its causal agent, Exserohilum turcicum
(2008)
The causal agent of Turcicum leaf blight Exserohilum turcicum was isolated from infected maize samples collected during a survey in seven districts representing the main maize growing areas of Kenya. The cultural variability ...
