Effects of water deficit on days to maturity and yield of three NERICA rainfed rice varieties
(2010)
Water deficit is a major problem in rice grown under rainfed conditions. It affects
plant growth and development and ultimately leads to a considerable yield reduction or crop
failure. Although the rice crop is susceptible ...
Evaluation of Different Improved Upland Rice Varieties for Low Soil Nitrogen Adaptability
(2015)
Scarcity of nitrogen fertilizer is a major constraint to rice production particularly in developing countries. Low soil fertility prevalent in farmer’s fields has led to low rice yields and the ever escalating fertilizer ...
Physiological and biochemical responses of five nerica rice varieties (Oryza sativa L.) to water deficit at vegetative and reproductive stage
(2012)
Food shortage is a major problem in sub Saharan Africa as population
increases. Over 89% of Kenyans are food poor and are malnourished especially in rural
areas. NERICA (New Rice for Africa) are high yielding rainfed ...
Responses of slenderleaf rattlebox (Crotalaria ochroleuca) to water deficit
(2017)
Water deficit affects plant growth and development thus affecting crop productivity. It
is the major a biotic stress experienced in the vast semi arid and arid regions of Kenya and
the world as a whole. Water deficit ...
Effects of water deficit on physiology and morphology of three varieties of nerica rainfed rice (Oryza sativa L.)
(2010)
Water deficit is a major problem in rice grown under rainfed conditions. It affects
plant growth and development and ultimately leads to a considerable yield reduction or crop
failure. Although the rice crop is susceptible ...
Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and photosynthetic pigments of four Glycine max varieties under Aluminium chloride stress
(2015)
Soy bean (Glycine max L.) is a commonly grown legume crop in Kenya. Soy bean grains are
among the world's most important in terms of protein content of 35-40% and oil content of 15-
22%. Soy bean grains are also rich ...

(2015)
Scarcity of nitrogen fertilizer is a major constraint to rice production particularly
in developing countries. Low soil fertility prevalent in farmer's fields has led to low rice yields
and the ever escalating fertilizer ...
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 ...
