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 ...
The effect of supplementing urea treated maize stover with Tithonia, Calliandra and Sesbania to growing goats
(2006)
A study was conducted to compare the effects of feeding Tithonia diversifolia
(Tithonia) with Calliandra calothyrsus (Calliandra) and Sesbania sesban (Sesbania) tree
legume forages as protein supplements to a basal ...

Allelopathic potential of mexican sunflower [tithonia diversifolia (hemsl) a. Gray] on germination and growth of cowpea seedlings (vigna sinensis l.)
(2015-12-20)
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 ...
Evaluation of Different Improved Upland Rice Varieties for Low Soil Nitrogen Adaptability
(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 ...
