(Department of Land Resource Management and Agricultural Technology, University of Nairobi, 2011)This study aimed at assessing the contribution of smallholder poultry production and its complimentarity to crops and livestock enterprises in two contrasting agro-ecological zones in Kiambu West District, Kenya. The ... -
Evaluation of Soil Fertility Status and Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.) Response to Fertilizers in Central Kenya Highland
(University of Nairobi, 2022)Increasing the low potato productivity due to declining soil fertility in Kenya requires an understanding of fertility status and potato response to site-specific fertilizer formulations. This study was conducted in ... -
Evaluation of Sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor L. Moench) Genotypes for Aluminium Toxicity Tolerance Using Morphological and Molecular Markers
(University of Nairobi, 2023)Aluminium (Al) toxicity is listed among the leading edaphic factors limiting production of sorghum in acidic soils (pH<5.0). It affects the apical root cell multiplication and elongation, hence, inhibiting the absorption ... -
