Innundative biocontrol of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms. Laubach) using zonate leaf spot (Acremonium zonatum Sawada gams) fungal agent
(IOSR J Agric Vet Sci, 2013)
Innundative approach of biocontrol involves culturing spore inoculum for use as a concentrated formulation able to withstand storage, handling and application in weed control the same way as a chemical herbicide. A trial ...
extracts against Xanthomonas campestris Pv vesicatoria isolated from diseased African nightshade (Solanum scabrum)
(INNSPUB, 2018)
Solanum scabrum Mill is widely cultivated for consumption as a leafy vegetable, for medicinal purposes
and as a source of income. Its productivity is faced with many challenges as farmers in Kenya have
been recording low ...
Quiet Time Correlation Between Geomagnetic Field Variations and the Dynamics of the East African Equatorial Ionosphere
(Science Publishing Group, 2017)
The equatorial ionosphere is highly dynamic and consequently poses serious threats to communication and
navigation systems. As a result, proper understanding of ionospheric dynamics is important. The present paper presents ...
Variability of VTEC Gradient and TEC Rate Index Over Kisumu, Kenya During Selected Quiet and Storm Days of 2013 and 2014
(Science Publishing Group, 2019)
Vertical Total electron content (VTEC) gradient or rate of change of TEC (ROT) and total electron content (TEC)
rate index or rate of change of TEC index (ROTI) can directly be estimated from receiver independent exchange ...
Quiet Time Geomagnetic Field Variations in the Equatorial East African Region During the Inclining Phase of Solar Cycle 24
(Science Publishing Group, 2014)
In the present paper, geomagnetic field data obtained from magnetometer measurements at two ground based
stations have been used to study solar activity dependence of the solar quiet variations. The study has focused on ...
Effects of cropping systems and agricultural lime on soil properties and nutrient content of sugarcane on acidified soils of Kisumu County, Kenya
(American Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 2016-07-23)
Acid soils cause soil fertility problems such as Al and Mn toxicity, Ca, Mg, N deficiency and P fixation. These are
constraints to high crop yields. Historically, liming is the common management practice used to neutralize ...
Epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance among Escherichia coli strains in Trans-Nzoia County, Kenya
(Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2016-04-04)
This study aimed to determine prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility profile and the genetic basis to antimicrobial resistance, targeting blaTEM gene expression of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli among patients suffering ...
Spatial distribution and temporal trend in concentration of carbofuran, diazinon and chlorpyrifos ethyl residues in sediment and water in Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(Springer, 2012)
Chlorpyrifos ethyl was found to be widely distributed in water and sediment in Lake Naivasha. Higher
levels were reported in sediment (11.2–30.0 ng g-1 dry
weight (dw) in wet season than in dry season (4.7–17.4 ng
g-1 ...
Effects of Micronutrients on the Nutritional Status of Clonal Tea Replanted in Areas Where Old Tea Was Uprooted
(Journal of Tea Science Research, 2017-03-20)
Tea yields peak is 21-30 years after which yields decline. The declining productivity and moribuncy has been reported in many tea fields due to prolonged period of monoculture under tea, physicochemical and biological ...
