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 ... -
Residual diazinon in brassica oleracea var. Acephala and influence of application conditions on its levels in Kimira-oluch smallholder farmers improvement project, Kenya
(Maseno university, 2021)Use of pesticides in agriculture often causes residual effects on crops with potential health risks. Diazinon, a synthetic pesticide whose dietary exposures have been associated with human health impacts is popular in the ... -

Survey of greenhouse gas fluxes from different vegetation, seasons and landscape units in small scale farming systems in lower Nyando-Kenya
(Maseno University, 2018)Greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions data from large-scale agricultural activities are available. In developing countries, e.g. Kenya, agriculture is dominated by smallholder farming, data on the assessment of possible ... -
Synthesis and characterization of municipal waste incinerator fly ash based Geopolymers for the removal of Endosulfan from water: kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics
(Maseno University, 2023)Endosulfan is a broad spectrum organochlorine insecticide which acts as a contact poison for controlling a wide variety of insects. However, extensive and uncontrolled use of insecticides leads to water pollution. ...
