Morphological, biochemical and molecular characterization of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria of African nightshades (Solanum scabrum Mill.)
(2016)
African nightshade (Solanum scabrum Mill.) is one important vegetable in terms of food
security and nutritional balance. The vegetable is usually medicinal and also a source of
income to many small scale farmers in ...
Carpet Characteristics of Eichhornia Crassipes [Mart.] Solms (Water hyacinth) in the Winam Gulf (Lake Victoria, Kenya)
(Asian Economic and Social Society, 2017)
The occurrence and spread of the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes [Mart.] Solms), in the
Winam gulf has created numerous attributes to the human population that live around the
lake, thereby making its control a ...
Effects of cutting position of rose rootstock cultivars on rooting and its relationship with mineral nutrient content and endogenous carbohydrates
(Elsevier, 2017-11-18)
The stem cuttings for propagating rose rootstocks are usually obtained from the
shoots on the mother stock irrespective of the position. However, adventitious root formation
may be influenced by the cutting position. ...
Genome-wide association analysis of residual feed intake and milk yield in dairy goats
(Oxford University Press, 2016-10-01)
Interest in both dairy and meat goat production in the US has been increasing, and
there is tremendous opportunity for genetic progress in traits that are easy to measure (eg,
milk yield) and those that are more difficult ...
Non-genetic sources of variation and temporal variability in growth and feed efficiency traits among phylogenetically distinct clusters of indigenous chicken in Kenya
(Springer Netherlands, 2016-12-01)
This study aims to investigate the influence of non-genetic factors on feed efficiency
in indigenous chicken. Residual feed intake (RFI), residual gain (RG) and residual intake
and gain (RIG) were used as measures of ...
Genetic and phenotypic parameters for feed efficiency in indigenous chicken in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)
This study aims to determine the genetic and phenotypic parameters of net feed
efficiency (NFE) traits namely Residual feed intake (RFI), residual gain (RG), and residual
intake and gain (RIG) along the growth curve ...
Effects of water deficit on days to maturity and yield of three NERICA rainfed rice varieties
(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 ...
