Effects of Banana Varieties in Central and Eastern Kenya on Macropropagation Technique
(Agroforestry, 2011)
Kenyans obtain most of their food, livelihood, employment and foreign
exchange from the agricultural sector. Banana contribution toward this cannot
be over looked. Recently banana has become an important cash crop,
especially ...
The status of fungal tuber rots as a constraint to cassava production in south Cameroon
(2004-11-05)
Fungal rots have been reported as a limiting factor to cassava production in the humid forests of Central and West Africa. Starting April 2003 tuber rots were studied for one year as part of a diagnostic survey designed ...
Preferred Banana Varieties and their Seed Systems in Eastern and Central provinces of Kenya
(Ruforum, 2010)
Banana is an important crop for food security in Kenya. Its
production has been hindered by scarcity of seedlings and pests,
among other factors. A recent survey in eastern and central
Kenya showed that desert varieties ...
A Low-cost Medium for Sweet Potato Micropropagation
(African Crop Science Society, 2011)
Tissue culture has not been optimised in sweet potato (
Ipomoea batatas
(L) Lam) propagation due to high costs. With an
aim of producing affordable disease-free seedlings, a low cost medium was developed and used to ...
Population trends of soil invertebrate macrofauna within a hedgerow intervropping in Embu, Kenya
(UNICEF, 2013)
The effects of land use practices on the soil invertebrate populations is well documented, but their potential as indicators of soil status is little understood. A study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that soil ...
Potential challenges facing macropropagation technique in banana
(Bio Sciences, 2011)
Objective: Bananas (Musa spp) are an important crop for food security, income for small holders and fodder among other uses. Banana production is greatly constrained by lack of affordable clean planting material. ...
Banana Farming in Kenya: Options for Rejuvenating Productivity
(Ruforum, 2010)
Bananas constitute an important component of farm enterprises
in the mid altitudes of central and eastern provinces of Kenya.
In recent years the crop has steadily gained importance over
traditional cash crops, e.g. ...
Varietal Differences of Two Cassava Varieties (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in Response to Low Cost Tissue Culture Technology.
(Elewa.org, 2011)
Objective: One impediment to adoption of tissue culture technology is the differential response of various crop varieties to the process necessitating development of protocols that target specific varieties or focus on a ...
Influence of Priming, Dressing and Agroecologies on Storage of Selected Soyabean Genotypes
(Egerton University, 2016)
Macropropagation Technique for Production of Healthy Banana Seedlings.
(African Crop Science Society, 2011)
Banana (Musa spp) is one of the most important crops providing food security, nutrition and income for many smallholder
farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. However, production is hindered by scarcity of high quality seedlings, ...
