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 ...
Stimulation of nematode-destroying fungi by organic amendments applied in management of plant parasitic nematode
(2009)
A screenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of cow manure, chicken manure and their combinations on nematode destroying fungi, nematode community and growth of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). The ...
Identification and distribution of viruses infecting sweet potato in Kenya
(2004)
Four hundred and forty-eight symptomatic and 638 asymptomatic samples were collected from sweet potato fields throughout Kenya and analysed serologically using antibodies to Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV), Sweet ...
Evaluation of Verticillium chlamydosporium and Arthrobotrys oligospora for biological control of Meloidogyne incognita in celery and tomato
(2007)
The ability of nematode trapping fungi and egg-parasitising fungi to colonize and persist in the rhizosphere of crop plants is thought to be an important factor influencing the success of biological control of root infecting ...
Evaluating the effect of Bacillus and Rhizobium. bi-inoculant on nodulation and nematode control in Phaseolus vulgaris L
(2007)
The study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of inoculating beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with a bio-inoculant containing Bacillus spp. and Rhizobium spp. isolates on root damage by root-knot nematodes, nodulation and ...
Genetic variation for tolerance to low soil nitrogen (N) in common beans (Phaseolus vulgaries L.)
(2003)
Low soil nitrogen is an important biophysical constraint to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in East and Central Africa. An average of 660 kg N ha-1 has been lost during the last 30 years from about 200 million ...
Host Suitability Of Potential Rotation And Cover Crops To Root-Knot Nematodes (Meloidogyn Spp.)
(University of Nairobi, 2004)
Suitability of Locally Available Substrates for Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) Cultivation in Kenya
(2009)
This study aimed at evaluating the suitability of selected substrates for mushroom production. Ten different substrates namely water hyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes ), maize cobs ( Zea mays ), coconut fibre ( Cocos nucifera ...
