Effects of sugarcane farming on diversity of vegetable crops in Mumias Division, Western Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2012-10-31)
Sugarcane farming is a commercial monocultural land use practice which often lead to reduction in agrobiodiversity. The study was carried out in Mumias Division of Western Kenya where 68% of the land is under commercial ...
Allelopathic effects of Mexican sunflower [Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl) A. Gray] on germination and growth of Spiderplant
(2012)
Allelopathy refers to both beneficial and harmful effects of one plant on another plant by the release of chemicals from plant parts through leaching, root exudation, volatilization, residue decomposition and other processes ...
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF BOUNDARY LAYER THICKNESS ON A THIN FILM OF LIQUID FLOW DOWN AN INCLINED PLANE
(2012-12-30)
The motion of fluid substances may be described by the Navier-Stokes (N-S)
equations. The equations arise from the application of Newton’s second Law of
motion to a fluid. In this paper, N-S equations in two dimensions ...
Interactive effects of livestock and trees on nutrients and herbaceous layer production in a humid Kenyan savanna
(East African Journal of Science and Technology,, 2012)
Savannas are key ecosystems that provide vital services such as fodder for wild and
domestic animals, recreation, biodiversity habitats, CO2 sequestration and timber. Their
characteristics and distribution make them ...
Effects of Production Locations and Plucking Intervals on Clonal Tea Fatty Acids Levels in the Kenya Higlands
(J-STAGE, 2012-05-01)
Tea leaves contain unsaturated fatty acids which are precursors of aroma compounds. Despite uniform plucking practices in Kenya, plain black tea quality varies with locations. Variations in tea aroma
and/or precursors ...
Reproduction Inhibition Effects of Neem Products on the Larger Grain Borer (Prostephanus truncatus) (HORN) in Stored Maize Grains
(Egerton Journal of Science & Technology, 2012-12-07)
The larger grain borer (LGB), Prostephanus truncatus (HORN), has become one of the most important insect pest of stored maize in tropical Africa where it was introduced in the early 1980s. It has the major effect of seriously ...
Variations of fatty acids levels in young shoots of clonal tea with location of production and nitrogenous fertilizer rates in the Kenya highlands
(Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology, 2012)
Tea leaves contain unsaturated fatty acids, key precursors of volatile compounds contributing to tea aroma quality. Tea is cultivated in areas with diverse environmental conditions. Nitrogenous fertilizers influence tea ...
The potential of Zea mays, Commelina bengelensis, Helianthus annuus and Amaranthus hybridus for phytoremediation of waste water
(Instituto de Pesquisas Ambientais em Bacias Hidrográficas, 2012-12)
Waste-water from domestic use and from industrial effluent burden the water systems with high levels of heavy metal hence there is need to remove these heavy metals so that the waste water can be recycled for use for ...
ON SINGULAR CAUCHY PROBLEM OF EULER-POISSON DARBOUX EQUATION
(2012)
We solve the singular Cauchy problem of Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation. The Riemann function, a solution corresponding to the adjoint equation is calculated and it enables us to evaluate any solution at a point by the ...
