Prediction of bulk potato temperature during free natural ventilation storage
(1999)
The broad objective of this research was to predict bulk potato temperatures at vanous
locations and at different times of storage in boxes under free natural ventilation using
both theoretical and physical experimental ...
Reducing Nitrogen Losses During Composting Of Poultry Manure Using The Natural Zeolite Clinoptilolite
(University of Nairobi., 1998-03)
Loss of N via NH3 volatilization during composting of poultry manure reduces the agronomic value of the end-product and contributes to environmental pollution. The objectives of this study were to evaluate N losses via ...
Genetic And Physiological Studies On Drought Resistance Traits In Dry Bean (phaseolus Vulgaris_l.) In Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1999)
Field and trough studies were conducted to evaluate response of physiological and
morphological traits of dry bean tPhaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes to water stress over a
period of two seasons. Thirty six bean genotypes ...
An abattoir survey on the occurrence and prevalence of swine parasitic helminths of public health and economic importance in kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1999)
Although there have been systematic and well coordinated efforts in
documenting the prevalences of parasitic diseases of the pig in several countries of
the world, very little has been done in Kenya. Parasitic helminths, ...
Effect of bulb size and duration of vernalization on onion (allium cepa l.) seed yield
(University of Nairobi, 1994)
In Kenya onion seeds are very expensive because they are all
imported due to lack of low temperatures for vernalization
requirements. A study was conducted in 1992 and 1993 at Kabete to
determine the effect of bulb size, ...
Assessing alternative strategy options in the control of tick-borne disease: a case study of East Coast Fever control in Uasin Gishu District, Kenya.
(1993)
Lack of effective tick and tick-borne disease (TBD) control is among the factors
limiting dairy production in Uasin Gishu District in Kenya. Besides constraining
productivity through morbidity, TBDs are among the most ...
Seasonal population dynamics of helminth parasites of donkeys in Kiambu District, Kenya
(1998)
The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying the internal parasites in
donkeys in Kiambu District of Kenya, determining their seasonal prevalence, and elucidating
the pathological lesions associated with ...
Postharvest handling of Tuberose (polianthes tuberosa L.) cut flowers
(1992)
A range of postharvest treatments were applied to
tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) cut flowers in an effort
to improve flower bud opening, vase life, and to reduce
floret senescence. Vase life of individual flowers of ...
