Function of Nitrate Ion and Tea Saponin Application Rates in Anerobic PAH Dissipation in Paddy Soil
(2016-06-01)
Abstract In the present study, KNO 3 and tea saponin (TS) were applied to investigate
systematically the potential impact of their concentrations on dissipation of anerobic
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in ...
Feasibility of an enhanced washing process to extract PBDEs/heavy metals/antibiotics from antibiotic resistance gene-affected soil with aqueous DNA followed by mi...
(2016-03-01)
Abstract Purpose Remediation of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)/heavy
metals/antibiotics mixed contaminated soil with high abundance of antibiotic resistance
genes (ARGs) has being greatly challenging. Materials ...
Clonal plain black tea quality parameters responses of hard physical withered leaf to rehydration and fermentation durations
(2016-04-16)
Hard physical withers in tea processing result in reduced plain black tea quality
parameters, but improve flavoury black tea quality. Chemical withers with minimal moisture
loss improve plain black tea quality parameters. ...
Evaluation of tea clones for resistance/tolerance to mites infestations and the influence of environmental factors on mites dynamics in Kenyan tea farms.
(International Society of Tea Science, 2016)
Mites infestations reduce yields in tea production world wide. However, some tea
cultivars are resistant/tolerant to mites attack. The resistance/susceptibility can also be
influenced by abiotic factors. This study ...
Effects of lime and nitrogen on properties of an acidic soil and nutrient content of sugarcane under sugarcane – soybean intercropping in Kenya
(2016)
American Journal of Experimental Agriculture
Effects of cropping systems, lime placement methods and rates on sugarcane yields and quality under acidified soils of Kibos, Kenya
(2016)
International Journal of Plant and Soil Science
Variability of overhead volatile organic compounds in clonal tea (Camellia sinensis) and their influence on red crevice mite (brevipalpus phoenicis geijskes) infestati...
(2016)
Tea production in Kenya is under threat due to red crevice mites (Brevipalpus
phoenicis) infestations during droughts. Cultural pests control practices, eg use of
resistant/tolerant cultivars are used in their control ...
Challenges of maintaining tea quality
(2016)
Tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) is an important cash crop contributing to
economic wellbeing and wealth in many developing countries. The crop creates
employment opportunities and development in the rural areas ...
