(Elsevier, 2014-08-01)Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)/heavy metals/fluorine (F) mixed- contaminated sites caused by abandoned metallurgic plants are receiving wide attention. To address the associated environmental problems, ... -
Evaluation of sugarcane cropping systems in relation to productivity at Kibos in Kenya
(International Journal of Agricultural Policy and Research Vol.2 (7), pp. 256-266, 2014-07)Low sugarcane productivity is widespread and has persisted in all zones in western Kenya over the last decade despite the release of many improved sugarcane varieties during the same period. Three sugarcane varieties, two ... -
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 ... -
