Effect of N-fertilization on yield components of nightshade
(International Symposium on Underutilized Plants for Food Security, Nutrition, Income and Sustainable Development, 2008-03-03)
Nightshades (Solanum L. section Solanum, e.g., S. scabrum, S. tarderomotum, S. villosum, S. americanum and S. grossidentatum) are widely cultivated in East and West Africa due to their potential nutritional and economic ...
Effect of planting density on yield components of nightshade
(International Symposium on Underutilized Plants for Food Security, Nutrition, Income and Sustainable Development 806, 2008-03-03)
Nightshade species (Solanum L. section Solanum, e.g., S. scabrum, S. tarderomotum, S. villosum, S. americanum and S. grossidentatum) are widely cultivated in East and West Africa due to their potential nutritional and ...
Increased circulating interleukin (IL)-23 in children with malarial anemia: in vivo and in vitro relationship with co-regulatory cytokines IL-12 and IL-10
(Academic Press, 2008)
Severe malarial anemia (SMA) is a leading cause of mortality among children in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the novel cytokine, interleukin (IL)-23, promotes anemia in chronic inflammatory diseases, the role of IL-23 in ...

Loss ratios have been employed by a broad range of users for diverse purposes. Insurance companies, regulators, investors, rating agencies, investment analysts, lenders and others have used the loss ratio for their particular ...
Influence of region of production on clonal black tea chemical characteristics
(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 ...
Persistence of maternal effects in baboons: Mother's dominance rank at son's conception predicts stress hormone levels in subadult males
(Academic Press, 2008-07-01)
Dominance status and reproductive experience are maternal characteristics that affect offspring traits in diverse taxa, including some cercopithecine primates. Maternal effects of this sort are widespread and are sources ...
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 ...
