Influence of land use and soil management practices on the occurence of nematode destroying fungi in Taita Taveta,Kenya
(school of biological sciences, 2009)Due to the increased concerns about the effect of agrochemicals on soil health and soil biodiversity, use of biological methods has become most acceptable alternative methods for farmers to control soil pathogens during ... -
Influence of land use on the distribution and diversity of Pythium spp
(2009)The distribution of Pythium species across land use gradient was examined in two agroecological zones in Kenya. The two zones were selected owing to their unique characteristics and locations. Soil samples were collected ... -
Influence Of Light And Temperature On Photosynthesis And Transpiration In Some C3 And C4 Vegetable Plants From Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1977-04)Potted vegetable plants of Amaranthus lividus, Gynandropsis gynandra and Crotalaria brevidens were grown outside under normal tropical conditions and rate of photosynthesis and transpiration were determined simultaneously ... -

The influence of pre-existing structures on the evolution of the southern Kenya Rift Valley — evidence from seismic and gravity studies
(Department of Geology, University of Leicester, UKGeological Institute, University of Copenhagen, DenmarkDepartment of Geological Sciences, The University of Texas, USADepartment of Physics, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 1997)The Kenya Rift is an active continental rift that has developed since the Late Oligocene. Although a thermal origin for the rifting episode is indicated by the scale of volcanism and its relative timing with uplift and ... -
Influence of soil chemical and physical properties on occurrence of trichoderma spp. in Embu, Kenya
(School of Biological Sciences, 2009)Soil samples were collected from eight land use types in Embu to assess the effects of land use on soil chemical and physical parameters and their impact on occurrence of Trichoderma spp. The fungus was recovered from the ... -
Influence of soil chemical and physical properties on Trichoderma spp occurrence in Taita region
