(University Of Nairobi, 2010)The effect of relative humidity regimes on the development and growth of the various development stages of the predacious mite Typhlodromalus aripo (Acari: Phytoseiidae) was studied in the laboratory at a constant temperature ... -
Growth and moulting of captive Panulirus homarus homarus in Kenya, western Indian Ocean
(2005)Panulirus homarus homarus is the most widely distributed of the three P. homarus subspecies and is the second most important spiny lobster in the Kenyan lobster fishery after Panulirus ornatus. Growth and moulting of ... -
Growth and regeneration of plantlets in callus cultures of pineapple
(University of Nairobi, 1981-03)Callus cultures were established from the basal region of in vitro-obtained shoot buds on MS medium supplemented with CH + CW + NAA. Such callus cultures, when grown on MS medium devoid of any growth regulators, regenerated ... -
Growth characteristics of two tropical forest species Warburgia ugandensis and Polyscias fulva seedlings grown under contrasting light conditions
(University Of Nairobi, 2008)Growth parameters for seedlings of two forest trees, Warburgia ugandensis and Polyscias fulva, were measured under various light growth conditions. Leaf area and plant height were significantly higher under low light (< ... -
Growth features of Acacia tortilis and Acacia xanthophloea seedlings and their response to cyclic soil drought stress
(University of Nairobi,, 2001)Seedlings of Acacia tortilis (Forsk) Hyne and Acacia xanthophloea Benth. were raised under controlled glasshouse conditions. Control plants were watered daily while other treatments involved withholding water for 2, 4 and ... -
Growth inhibition of the predacious mite, Amblyseius brazilli by a synthetic juvenile hormone under laboratory conditions
(1977)The predacious miteAmblyseius brazilli El-Banhawy was exposed to the synthetic juvenile hormone methoprene to see the biological differences resulting from the application of the compound and its toxicity. Methoprene was ... -
