Evaluation of phosphorus uptake from Minjingu Phosphate rock, growth and nodulation of agroforestry tree species in an acid soil from Kenya. In: Assessment of soil phosphorus status and management of phosphatic fertilizer
(University of Nairobi, 2002)
Most acid soils of the tropics and subtropics show a widespread phosphorus (P) deficiency and high P sorption capacity, and therefore require substantial P inputs for optimum plant growth and production of food and fiber. ...
Available technologies to replenish soil fertility in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2007)
Low inherent soil fertility in the highly weathered and leached soils largely accounts for low and unsustained crop yields in most African countries. But in particular, the major nutrients, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), ...
Oestradiol And Progesterone Receptor Concentrations And The Metabolism Of Oestrogen In Uterine Leiomyomata.
(University of Nairobi, 2002)
The contents of progesterone and oestrogen, and their respective receptors in uterine leiomyomata and adjacent normal myometrial tissue in indigenous black women in Kenya were studied. A random selection of twenty women ...

Early testicular response to intraperitoneal administration of ethane dimethanesulphonate (EDS) in the goat (Capra hircus).
(2001)
Early morphological changes in the goat testis after a single intraperitoneal injection of ethane dimethanesulphonate (EDS) were investigated using both light and electron microscopy. The compound was administered at two ...

(2001-12)
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was employed to determine the rate of digestion of blood proteins ingested by teneral and non-teneral laboratory reared Glossina morsitans morsitans at different time intervals ...
Bean improvement for low soil fertility adaptation in Eastern and Central Africa
(2007)
Low soil fertility is one of the most important common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) productivity yield limiting factors in Eastern and Central Africa and cause substantial production losses. As a component of integrated ...
