Sacred groves (kibaga) of Mfangano Island, Lake Victoria, Kenya
(2004)
A questionnaire method was used to obtain information about the sacred groves and identity of
other protected and sacred plants ofMfangano Island. Some 36 sacred groves, locally known in
the Suba language as Kibaga, ...
Responses of clonal tea to location of production and plucking intervals
(Elsevier, 2009-07-01)
Tea is cultivated in diverse environments causing yield and quality differences in its beverages. To maximise yields and quality, agronomic practices should be optimised. But agronomic recommendations are uniform in different ...
NPK (S) fertilizer use in commercially cultivated clone BBK 35 in different tea growing regions of Kenya: I. Experimental design and initial soil chemical properties.
(Tea Research Foundation of Kenya, 2008)
An experiment was set up in five sites by superimposing on commercially grown plantations consisting of one popular tea cultivar, clone BBK 35 at Timbilil estate, Kericho; Changoi Estate, lower Kericho; Magura-Kipkebe ...
NPK (S) fertilizer use in commercially cultivated clone BBK 35 in different tea growing regions of Kenya: II. Effects of nitrogen rates and plucking intervals on soil chemical …
(Tea Research Foundation of Kenya, 2008)
One commercially and widely grown tea cultivar, clone BBK 35 was evaluated for changes in soil chemical properties at different N-fertilizer rates and plucking rounds in five different localities in Kenya. The soils in all ...
Long term fertilizer use on high yielding clone S15/10: Tea yields
(International society of tea science, 2008)
High production of young tender shoots of Camellia sinensis L. O. Kuntze to make tea beverages leads to soil nutrients depletion through harvested crop and leaching. The production can be sustained by replenishing the lost ...
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 ...
Effects of water stress on growth and water relations of young grafted tea.
(Tea Research Foundation of Kenya, 2009)
The effects of soil water stress on some physiological parameters and dry matter partitioning (dm) were studied in grafted tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.) grown in containers and subjected to adequate and reduced water ...
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). ...
Long term effects of nitrogenous fertilizers on tea yields, nutrients uptake and some soil chemical properties
(Soil Science Society of East Africa, 2005)
A field experiment was set up to determine long tenn responses of different rates of nitrogen fertilizers namely used in tea, N~KS 25:5:5:5 and NPK 20: 10: 10, on tea 'Ields, nutrient uptake and soil chemical properties. ...
Gender Analysis of Economic Efficiency in Smallholder Tea Production in Kenya
(Eastern Africa Agricultural Economics Society,1979, 2003)
If the productivity of tea among the smallholders can only increase to about 2500 kg/ha/yr, the national projection of 300 thousand metric tones would be realized without the need to allocate more land to tea enterprise. ...
