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 ...
Production, purification and separation of phytotoxins from Exserohilum turcicum isolates of Kenyan, German and Austrian origin
(Bots, 2011)
The study was carried out to compare production, purification and identity of phytotoxins from Exserohilum turcicum isolates of Kenyan, German and Austrian origin. Phytotoxins were extracted from maize leaves inoculated ...
Evaluation of Genetic Variability of Kenyan, Gennan and Austrian Isolates of Exserohilum turcicum using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism DNA Marker
(2010)
Eighty nine Exserohilum turcicum isolates comprising 56 Kenyan, 26 German and 7 Austrian isolates were isolated from diseased maize plants and cultured on complete liquid medium to generate mycelium for DNA extraction. DNA ...
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 ...
Collaborative Efforts Towards Understanding The Biological Structures And Functions Of Selected Soil Groups In Rural Ghana, Malawi And Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
Degrading health of sub-Saharan African soils is a major impediment to the Millennium
Development Goal and the strategy of poverty reduction for Africa through the Comprehensive
Africa Agricultural Development Program. ...
Potential of biological control agents, organic amendments and crop rotation on root-knot nematodes
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Integrated approaches are fast gaining popularity
in the management of root knot nematodes
(
Meloidogyne
spp.). This study was undertaken
to assess the potential of integrating a biological
control agent (
Pochonia ...
Types of biological and nutritional degradations in ferralsol, lithosol and nitosol groups in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi.
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
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

Occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes and their potential in the management of diamondback Moth in Kale
(University of Nairobi., 2008)
This study was aimed at determining the occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in different agroecosystems and their potential as biocontrol agents in the management of DBM. Soil samples were taken from a planted ...
