Productivity and nitrogen use of tea plantations in relation to age and genotype
(Elsevier, 2008-07-11)
Lack of science-based knowledge on responses of tea bushes to nitrogen (N) in ageing tea plantations hampers the development of ecologically sound and economically profitable N-management strategies. It is hypothesized ...
The role of Kenya Tea Development Agency Limited in the small-scale tea holder development in Kenya.
(International Society of Tea Science, 2008)
The Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) was formed in 1964 to take over the functions of the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA), which had been set in 1960 to promote tea growing by indigenous Kenyans (Africans). ...
Relationship between leaf water status and varietal adaptation of
(East African Agricultural and Forestry Journal, 2008-09-15)
Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to examine differences in leaf water status between bean cultivars from low and high rainfall areas of Kenya, and hence investigate the relationship between this parameter ...
Occurrence of Trypanosoma in Nile tilapia in Lake Victoria, Kenya
(Sokoine university of agriculture, 2008)
Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) and Lates niloticus (Nile perch) are the most abundant species and economically important fish in Lake Victoria. The former are omnivores and the latter are carnivorous. The carrier ...
δ13 values of the Centrospermeae species and their ecological implications in the semi arid conditions
(Asian Network for scientific infomation, 2008)
13C values of the Centrospermeae species are presented. 69.5, 28.45, 1.25 and 0.8% of the total species are C3, C4, C3-C4 and CAM photosynthetic species. The δ13C values are species dependent. δ13C values for the C3 range ...
Influence of region of production on clonal black tea chemical characteristics
(Elsevier, 2008-05-01)
Production of black tea from the same vegetatively propagated (VP) cultivars, in Kenya and Malawi, shows variations in both chemical composition and quality. Whereas it is possible to produce black teas with similar total ...
Multidrug resistance of Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Typhimurium isolated from clinical samples at two rural hospitals in Western Kenya
(The journal of infection in developing countries, 2008-04-01)
The threat to human health posed by antibiotic resistance is of growing concern. Many commensals and pathogenic organisms have developed resistance to well established and newer antibiotics. This is a cross-sectional study ...
Growth performance of bamboo in tobacco-growing regions in South Nyanza, Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2008)
The study was carried out on 120 field experimentation sites where 2420 bamboo cuttings were planted under the same natural tobacco growing conditions in five different zones (that is, zone A = hillside/steep sloping ...
Revisiting non-degenerate parametric down-conversion
(Springer-Verlag, 2008)
he quantum dynamics of a two-mode non-resonant parametric down-conversion process is studied by recasting the time evolution equations for the basic operators in an equivalent spin equation form with simpler exact solutions ...
