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 ... -
