(Maseno University, 2016)
Incidence of Salmonella resistance to various antibiotic agents, especially to the commonly available antibiotics in Kenya, is rising. Genetic elements such as Class 1 integrons have an important role in development and ...
Relationship between mites infestation levels in Kenyan tea to overhead volatile organic compounds and their variations with seasons, regions and selected agronomic practices
(Maseno University, 2016)
Tea (Camellia sinensis) is a major cash crop in Kenya that suffers economic losses due to Brevipalpus phoenicis and Oligonychus coffeae infestations during droughts. Pesticides use on tea is prohibited and pests control ...
Evaluation of chlorpyrifos ethyl elisa kit and assessment of use and spatial distribution and temporal trend of selected organophosphate and carbamate pesticides residues in water, sediment and fish from lake Naivasha
(Maseno University, 2015)
Heavy seasonal use of specific organophosphate and carbamate in the catchment area of Lake Naivasha is a potential cause of pollution of sediment, water and fish in the lake. However, there is lack of data on the potential ...
Comparison of Variations in Soil-Foliar Nutrients Levels and Productivity of Three Ratoon-Sugarcane Cultivars Due to Nitrogen-Potash Rates and Harvesting Age in Western Kenya
(2016)
Sugarcane productivity in Kenya has declined despite increased acreage and new cultivars possibly due to use of old-cultivar agronomic inputs. The N-K2O optimal rates for new cultivars are unknown. Kenya Sugar Industry ...
