Effect of copper (II) on the sorption/desorption of chlorsulfuron in five wheat growing regions of the Mara River Basin, Kenya
(Scienceedomain International, 2016) -
Genotype and environment interactions of yields and yield components of tea (Camellia sinensis) cultivars in Kenya
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016)The tea crop provides income and employment to rural populations in many countries. In Kenya, tea, which is the leading export commodity crop, is grown in highlands east and west of the Rift Valley at altitudes ranging ... -
Structures and activities of academy of sciences

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 ... -
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 ... -
Effects of regional climate variability on the prevalence of diseases and their economic impacts on households in the Lake Victoria basin of Western Kenya
(Inderscience Publishers (IEL), 2016)Climate variability has a strong influence on disease prevalence and subsequently on economic wellbeing of the affected households. In this study, six regions were selected and clustered into three groups based on their ... -
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 -
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 -
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 ... -
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. ... -
Triterpenes from Elaeodendron schweinfurthianum and Their Antimicrobial Activities against Crop Pathogens
(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2017-01-26)Phytochemical evaluation of Elaeodendron schweinfurthianum (Loes) extracts led to the isolation of nine compounds which were identified as 3-oxofriedelane (1), 3α- hydroxyfriedelane (2), 3-oxo-29-hydroxyfriedelane (3), ... -

Spatial distribution and habitat characterization of mosquito species during the dry season along the Mara River and its tributaries, in Kenya and Tanzania
(Bio Med Central, 2018-12)Vector-borne diseases are increasingly becoming a major health problem among communities living along the major rivers of Africa. Although larger water bodies such as lakes and dams have been extensively researched, ... -
Effects of land use change on land degradation reflected by soil properties along Mara River, Kenya and Tanzania
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-01-01)Human-induced changes to natural landscapes have been identified as some of the greatest threats to freshwater resources. The change from natural forest cover to agricultural and pastoral activities is rampant especially ...
