Effects of long term fertilizer use on a high yielding tea clone S15/10: Soil pH, mature leaf nitrogen, mature leaf and soil phosphorus and potassium
(CABI, 2011)
Harvesting (plucking) the young tender shoots of Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze to make tea beverages results in removal of high amounts nutrients from the soil. AHPS15/10 is a high-yielding tea clone with average annual ...

(CABI, 2011)
This proceedings contains twenty papers presented at the Cluster Workshop, held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 30 November to 2 December 2011. The papers detail natural resources management and land use in Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda ...
Yield response of tea clone 6/8 to growing environments, nitrogenous fertiliser application and plucking intervals in East Africa.
(Inter-University Council for East Africa Lake Victoria Research Initiative, 2011)
In East Africa, tea growing areas fall in several agro-ecological regions, differing widely in elevation and climatic factors. Despite the differences, agronomic inputs are uniform throughout the region. Clone TRFK 6/8 is ...
Effect of nitrogenous fertilizer application and harvesting intervals on yield of tea clone TRFK 6/8 in Tanzania
(Inter-University Council for East Africa Lake Victoria Research Initiative, 2011)
The response of tea clone TRFK 6/8 to nitrogenous fertilizer application and plucking intervals was examined at two sites in Lake Victoria basin in Tanzania between October 2008 and May 2011. The yield varied among locations ...
Response of tea cultivars to growing environments in Kenya.
(Inter-University Council for East Africa Lake Victoria Research Initiative, 2011)
In East Africa, tea growing areas fall in several agro-ecological regions differing widely in elevation, climatic factors and soil conditions. However, environmental and climatic factors which control growth vary with ...
AN ESTIMATE OF VELOCITY PROFILE IN LAMINAR BOUNDARY LAYER
(Academic Publications, Ltd., 2011-09-02)
This paper examines the boundary layer thickness developed for an
incompressible viscous fluid flowing over a flat plate. The solution of the Blasius
problem is considered. In this paper, the authors propose a polynomial ...

(University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2011)
This research project report is about the study of determinants of adoption of household drinking water treatment methods in Winam Division, Kisumu East District, Kenya. In many parts of the developing world, drinking water ...
3-DIMENSIONAL MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN POROUS MEDIA
(Academic Publications, Ltd., 2011)
An alternative method of the numerical solution of the heat equation is presented. A three-dimensional modelling approach is used in this paper rather than one or two dimensional models in order to account for the lateral ...
Pedological perspective of gully erosion sites within Kendu escarpment-Sondu Miriu Region, West Kenya
(2011)
Gully erosion is a common feature in western Kenya, rendering large expanses of otherwise arable land uncultivable and uninhabitable. Gully erosion in the area was classified into two types: the Awach-type and the Sondu-type. ...
Tetracycline efflux pump in different Salmonella enterica isolated from diarrhea patients in two rural health centers in Western Kenya
(Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine Research Center, 2011)
Tetracyclines (TCs) are a type of broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotics used for treatment of a wide
variety of infections. These antibiotics eventually reach terrestrial and aquatic environments via application of ...
