EFFECT OF SALINITY ON GROWTH AND LEAF YIELD OF SPIDERPLANT (Cleome Gynandra L.)
(2014)
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of salinity (NaCl) on growth and leaf yield of spiderplant. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replicates. Seeds of spiderplant ...
Effect of water deficit on the physiological and morphological characteristics of Mango (Mangifera indica) rootstock seedlings.
(Academic Journals, 2010)
Six month old Mango (Mangifera indica L.) rootstock seedlings were grown in 20 L plastic pots in a greenhouse at Maseno University, Kenya, to investigate the effect of water deficit on its morphological and physiological ...
Ecophysiological and genetic characteristics of three wetland plant species occurring in lake Victoria region in Kenya.
(Asian Research Publishing Network-ARPN, 2010)
This study was carried out to investigate the ecophysiological and genetic characteristics of some selected wetland plant species in Lake Victoria basin, Kenya. Seedlings of Cyperas esculentus L., Aframomum angustifolium ...
Growth and nutrient uptake among three wetland plant species occurring in Lake Victoria basin in Kenya.
(AGRICULTURE AND BIOLOGY JOURNAL OF NORTH AMERICA, 2010)
Nutrient enrichment is one of the most serious threats to wetland ecosystems. Information is
lacking, particularly concerning the response of wetland plants species in Kenya in regard to
nutrient enrichment of wetlands. ...

(2018-09-30)
Solanum scabrum Mill is widely cultivated for consumption as a leafy vegetable, for medicinal purposes and as a source of income. Its productivity is faced with many challenges as farmers in Kenya have been recording low ...
Introducing a novel natural logarithmic indices and their corresponding percentages table towards quantitative estimation of plant tolerance levels to stressors
(2018)
The methods of evaluating tolerance levels of plants to stressors for many years have been based on indices and visual based scores which are more of descriptive and qualitative. Despite their ease of use the strategies ...
Soil properties along a gradient from hillslopes to the savanna plains in the Lambwe Valley, Kenya
(Elsevier, 2015-12-01)
Changes in land use and management strongly affect the physical and chemical properties of soils and their ecological functions. Especially, regions in East Africa have experienced dramatic land use changes in the past, ...
Patterns of CO2 exchange and productivity of the herbaceous vegetation and trees in a humid savanna in western Kenya
(Springer Netherlands, 2015-10-01)
Factors governing the dynamics between woody and herbaceous vegetation in the savanna are of ecological interest since they determine ecosystem productivity and stability. Field measurements were conducted in a humid savanna ...
Spatial heterogeneity in ecosystem structure and productivity in a moist Kenyan savanna
(Springer Netherlands, 2011-05-01)
Topographic variations and disturbances are key sources of spatial heterogeneity in the ecosystem and may influence its functioning, productivity, and carbon (C) storage. In water controlled ecosystems, structural and ...
