Studies on Nitrate Reductase and Nitrate Reductase Inhibiting Enzyme in field-grown finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.
(1992)
The induction of NRA by nitrate has been
demonstrated in various plants under strictly controlled
conditions. When nitrate supply is limited, NRA is almost
undetectable in the majority of the plants. This has led
to ...
The effects of contour hedgerows (alleycropping) on microclimate, soil and water conservation and competition on sloping lands for sustainable land use in Machakos district, Kenya
(1999)
The research was conducted in a semi-arid land of Kenya prone to
land degradation when open for rainfed agriculture. Insufficient
water and soil erosion limit plant growth and development. The area
has erratic rainfall ...
