Introducing rearing crickets (gryllids) at household levels: adoption, processing and nutritional values
(Journal of insects as Food and Feed, 2016)
Edible insects, particularly crickets, are becoming popular due to their nutritional value and efficiency in foodconversion. An increasing number of farmers in Kenya are seeking information on rearing crickets (Orthopter ...
Global Energy Perspective
(Springer, Cham, 2016)
“Energy is everywhere in different forms and it is needed by everyone and yet it is not always available for everybody. If you have it, you must protect it. If you do not have it, you must get it at any cost. Which other ...
Differentiation of the C3 and C4 dicot (Centrospermeae) species along the altitudinal-aridity gradient and their ecological implications in bioproductivity paradigm in Kenya
(International Journal of Agriculture and Animal sciences, 4 (4), 2016)
Centrospermeae specieswere collected at different sites along gradient of altitudes and aridity. Climatic data were obtained from meteorological research stations. Kranz leaf syndrome, δ13C values and carbon dioxide ...

Function of Nitrate Ion and Tea Saponin Application Rates in Anerobic PAH Dissipation in Paddy Soil
(2016-06-01)
Abstract In the present study, KNO 3 and tea saponin (TS) were applied to investigate
systematically the potential impact of their concentrations on dissipation of anerobic
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in ...
Feasibility of an enhanced washing process to extract PBDEs/heavy metals/antibiotics from antibiotic resistance gene-affected soil with aqueous DNA followed by mi...
(2016-03-01)
Abstract Purpose Remediation of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)/heavy
metals/antibiotics mixed contaminated soil with high abundance of antibiotic resistance
genes (ARGs) has being greatly challenging. Materials ...
Clonal plain black tea quality parameters responses of hard physical withered leaf to rehydration and fermentation durations
(2016-04-16)
Hard physical withers in tea processing result in reduced plain black tea quality
parameters, but improve flavoury black tea quality. Chemical withers with minimal moisture
loss improve plain black tea quality parameters. ...
Evaluation of tea clones for resistance/tolerance to mites infestations and the influence of environmental factors on mites dynamics in Kenyan tea farms.
(International Society of Tea Science, 2016)
Mites infestations reduce yields in tea production world wide. However, some tea
cultivars are resistant/tolerant to mites attack. The resistance/susceptibility can also be
influenced by abiotic factors. This study ...
