Antimicrobial activities of crude leaf extract of Solanum Nigrumon Fusarium Oxysporum and Pseudomonas Syringae cultures in Maseno (Kenya)
(Journal of Asian Scientific Research, 2017)
Solanum nigrum (black nightshade) is a common short lived perennial plant found in the Kenyan highlands and worldwide in distribution. It is a small highly branched plant that rarely adopt a habit of more than a foot in ...
Responses of slenderleaf rattlebox (Crotalaria ochroleuca) to water deficit
(2017)
Water deficit affects plant growth and development thus affecting crop productivity. It
is the major a biotic stress experienced in the vast semi arid and arid regions of Kenya and
the world as a whole. Water deficit ...
Allelopathic potential of mexican sunflower [tithonia diversifolia (hemsl) a. Gray] on germination and growth of cowpea seedlings (vigna sinensis l.)
(2015)
Invasive plant species when introduced into new environments may result into a number of
ecological problems (Howard et al., 2000). They may influence other species through
pathways such as allelopathy or phytotoxicity ...
Effects of water deficit on physiology and morphology of three varieties of nerica rainfed rice (Oryza sativa L.)
(2010)
Water deficit is a major problem in rice grown under rainfed conditions. It affects
plant growth and development and ultimately leads to a considerable yield reduction or crop
failure. Although the rice crop is susceptible ...
Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and photosynthetic pigments of four Glycine max varieties under Aluminium chloride stress
(2015)
Soy bean (Glycine max L.) is a commonly grown legume crop in Kenya. Soy bean grains are
among the world's most important in terms of protein content of 35-40% and oil content of 15-
22%. Soy bean grains are also rich ...
Allelopathic potential of mexican sunflower [tithonia diversifolia (hemsl) a. Gray] on germination and growth of cowpea seedlings (vigna sinensis l.)
(2015)
Invasive plant species when introduced into new environments may result into a number of
ecological problems (Howard et al., 2000). They may influence other species through
pathways such as allelopathy or phytotoxicity ...
Chlorophyll fluorescence, protein and chlorophyll content of three nerica rainfed rice varieties under varying irrigation regimes
(2010)
Water deficit affects growth and development of rainfed rice leading to a
considerable yield reduction or crop failure. Although the rice crop is susceptible to water
deficit, there is a marked genotypic variation in ...
Growth changes of seven Amaranthus (spp) during the vegetative and reproductive stages of development as influenced by variations in soil water deficit
(International Journal of Research and Innovations in Earth Science, 2015)
Soil water deficit is a principal a biotic factor that limits plant growth and development in dry areas. Insufficient moisture contributes to soil water deficit and some negative effects on Amaranthus (spp) such as reduced ...
Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and photosynthetic pigments of four Glycine max varieties under Aluminium chloride stress
(PSCI Publications, 2015)
Soil acidity limits agricultural production globally. Different kinds of
stresses, mainly Al stress, generated from acid soils affect plant growth and
result in food shortage and production. General effects of Al toxicity ...
