Ecology and Physiology of Plant growth in relation to soil salinity
(2015)
This work is intended as a review of soil salinity as one common abiotic
stress in ecological systems that adversely affect plant growth. In arid and
semi arid areas, saline areas or areas irrigated with saline waters, ...
Evaluation of different improved upland rice varieties for low soil nitrogen adaptability
(IJPSS, 2015)
Scarcity of nitrogen fertilizer is a major constraint to rice production particularly in developing
countries. Low soil fertility prevalent in farmer’s fields has led to low rice yields and the ever
escalating fertilizer ...
Allelopathic potential of mexican sunflower [tithonia diversifolia (hemsl) a. Gray] on germination and growth of cowpea seedlings (vigna sinensis l.)
(PSCI Publications, 2015)
Allelopathy is a common among plants. Allelopathic substances affect seed
germination, plant growth and development or even affect chlorophyll
synthesis by the plant leaves. Tithonia diversifolia contains allelochemicals
that ...
A critical review of the role of taro Colocasia esculenta L.(Schott) to food security: A comparative analysis of Kenya and Pacific Island taro germplasm
(PSCI Publisher, 2015)
The many threats to global food security in Sub Sahara Africa include poverty, unsustainable cultivation practices and climate change. Increasing poverty and decreasing food security have been exacerbated by continued low ...
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 ...
The use of phytochemical composition of fifty (50) selected plants found in the university botanic garden, Maseno, Kenya to show
(Research gate, 2015-08-02)
Qualitative phytochemical analysis of 50 plants, five each from 10 selected families is presented. The ten plant families were selected based on their high plant frequency of occurrence within the botanic garden. The ...

Comparative analysis of phenotypic characterization of Kenya and Pacific Islands tarogen germplasm collections Colocasia esculenta L.(Schott)
(PSCI Publisher, 2015)
Fifty accessions of taro germplasm collections Colocasia esculenta L. (Schott) were collected from Kenya and Pacific Islands tarogen germplasm collections. Twenty five accessions of Kenyan taro germplasm were collected ...
