Characterization of Kenyan isolates of Fusarium udum from pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] by cultural characteristics, aggressiveness and AFLP analysis
(2002)
Isolates of Fusarium udum from pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) plants with wilt symptoms were collected from various districts in Kenya and were characterized using cultural characteristics, aggressiveness and amplified fragment ...
Effect of intercropping maize with different bean genotypes on the incidence and severity of flourly leaf spot disease and yield of beans
(2000)
A study was undertaken to characterise the virulence variability in Phaeoisariopsis griseola, the causal agent of angular leaf spot of common bean (Phaseolus vUlgaris l.) and to determine the physiological races of the ...
Histology of resistant and susceptible pigeonpea infected with Fusarium udum
(2001)
Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium udum Butler, is an economically important disease of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Mill). Information on the mechanisms of resistance to this disease in pigeonpea is limited. To study the ...
Different land use types in the semi-arid rangelands of Kenya influence soil properties
(2011)
Rangelands in semi-arid Kenya have recently witnessed extensive land use changes. These changes
can mainly be attributed to increased livestock populations and the response of the increased human
population to both local ...
Effects of legume cover crop and sub-soiling on soil properties and maize (zea mays l) growth in semi arid area of Machakos District, Kenya
(2010)
Low crop yields in the semi arid areas of Kenya have been attributed to, among other factors, low soilfertility, low farm inputs, labour constraints and inappropriate tillage practices that lead to pulverized soils. The ...
