Phytotoxic effect of selected crude plant extracts on soil-borne fungi of common bean
(African Crop Science Society (Uganda), 2010)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important food and cash crop particularly in Eastern, Southern and Great lake region. The efficacy of water based crude plant extracts of Neem (Azadirachta indica), Mexican marigold ...
Community Tree Seedling Production in Maseno Division, Kenya
(IJRIAS), 2019-07)
Forests and trees are important natural resources
globally. The reduction of forests and tree cover has occasioned
the loss of biodiversity, wildlife habitat, ecosystem integrity;
increased climate variability and reduced ...
Allelopathic potential of mexican sunflower [tithonia diversifolia (hemsl) a. Gray] on germination and growth of cowpea seedlings (vigna sinensis l.)
(2015)
Invasive plant species when introduced into new environments may result into a number of
ecological problems (Howard et al., 2000). They may influence other species through
pathways such as allelopathy or phytotoxicity ...
Bacteriological and Physicochemical characterisation of AoraLoko Stream water,Maseno kenya
(AESS Publications, 2017)
Safety and quality of drinking water is an important aspect in public health. Water
pollution is one main cause of worldwide diseases and death. Human activities around
water catchment areas contribute to some level ...
Chlorophyll fluorescence, protein and chlorophyll content of three nerica rainfed rice varieties under varying irrigation regimes
(2010)
Water deficit affects growth and development of rainfed rice leading to a
considerable yield reduction or crop failure. Although the rice crop is susceptible to water
deficit, there is a marked genotypic variation in ...

Effects of Tithonia diversifolia, farmyard manure and urea, and phosphate fertiliser application methods on maize yields in western Kenya
(2015-04-21)
Maize production in western Kenya is often limited by deficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorus. We assessed the effectiveness of Tithonia diversifolia green manure (tithonia), farmyard manure (FYM) and urea as sources of ...
The effect of minjingu phosphate rock and triple superphosphate on soil phosphorus fractions and maize yield in Western Kenya
(Hindawi, 2014)
We tested the effects of triple superphosphate (TSP) and Minjingu phosphate rock (MPR), when applied at phosphorus (P) rates of 50 or 250 kg P ha−1 in a factorial combination with urea or Tithonia diversifolia green manure ...
Effects of lime and fertilizer on soil properties and maize yields in acid soils of Western Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2018-03-29)
Many soils in Western Kenya are acidic and deficient in nitrogen and phosphorus. Acidity hinders crop responses to fertilizers applied to remedy nutrient deficiencies. The common liming materials used to ameliorate acidity ...
An agronomic and economic evaluation of integrated use of Calliandra callothyrsus and maize stover with urea in western Kenya
(2014)
The agronomic effectiveness of integrating organic and inorganic nutrient sources has been demonstrated in Kenya but economic analysis is often lacking in such studies thus denying farmers the ...
