Evaluation of soil properties of sugarcane zones and cropping systems for improved productivity in Western Kenya
(International Journal of Agronomy and Agricultural Research (IJAAR), Vol. 11, No. 3, p. 1-16, 2017, 2017-09-30)
Unsuitable soil properties can adversely affect sugarcane productivity. The role of soil chemical, physical and biological properties on low productivity has not been evaluated. Soil nutrient survey was conducted to evaluate ...
Influence of anthropogenic activities and seasons on heavy metals in spring water along Amala and Nyangores tributaries of the Mara River Basin
(Academic Journal, African Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2018-07)
Anthropogenic activities, including replacing natural forests with human settlements and increased agricultural activities have environmental impacts. The activities can contaminate aquatic ecosystems including spring ...
Evaluation of sugarcane cropping systems in relation to productivity at Kibos in Kenya
(International Journal of Agricultural Policy and Research Vol.2 (7), pp. 256-266, 2014-07)
Low sugarcane productivity is widespread and has persisted in all zones in western Kenya over the last decade despite the release of many improved sugarcane varieties during the same period. Three sugarcane varieties, two ...
Variations of fatty acids levels in young shoots of clonal tea with location of production and nitrogenous fertilizer rates in the Kenya highlands
(Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology, 2012)
Tea leaves contain unsaturated fatty acids, key precursors of volatile compounds contributing to tea aroma quality. Tea is cultivated in areas with diverse environmental conditions. Nitrogenous fertilizers influence tea ...
Changes in the Composition of Elements in Non-Aerated Green Teas Processed from Seedling Tea (Camellia sinensis) Due to Variations in Nitrogenous Fertilizer Rates and Seasons.
(International Journal of Tea Science Vol 13, No. 1&2 (2017) : 80-93, 2017)
Soil nutrients are lost to the plant with harvested crop in tea production with most ending up as minerals and contribute to human nutrition upon tea consumption. Production of non-aerated green tea in Kenya has been low. ...
