Evaluation of agrometeorological indices as maize yield predictors in a high rainfall Kenyan environment
(East African Agricultural and Forestry Journal, 1990)
Maize is the most important food crop in Kenya and occupies more than 25% of the total land area in many high rainfall areas of the country. Investigations were carried out to test which agrometeorological crop yield ...
Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Selected Legumes of the Semi-Arid Makueni District of Southeast Kenya
(Journal of Agriculture in the Tropics and Subtropics, 1999-10)
The major objective of this study was to investigate biological nitrogen fixation in two main legumes (green gram and common bean) grown in semi-arid southeast Kenya. Nodulation experiments on the two legumes were carried ...
Phenological and physiological evaluation of the potential of Tohono O'odham Z16 maize as a new crop for the semi-arid areas of SE-Kenya
(Journal of Agriculture in the Tropics and Subtropics, 1997)
This study intends to compare the phenology, crop water requirements and the diurnal behaviour of leaf water potential of the new maize variety Tohono O'odham Z16 and of the locally grown varieties, i.e. Makueni DLC and ...
Phenology and Diurnal Course of Leaf Water Potential of Three Bean Varieties under a Semi-Arid Environment in South-East Kenya
(Faculty of Science Kenyatta University, 1998)
The objectives of this study were to observe the phenology and to investigate the diurnal behaviour of leaf water potential (LWP) in three bean varieties under irrigated and unirrigated treatments with a view to making ...
Nitrogen Fixation by Vigna radiata L. Wilczek in Pure and Mixed Stands in SE-Kenya
(CSA Illumina, 1999)
Greenhouse and field experiments were carried out to determine the number of rhizobia in soils of SE-Kenya, nodulation and nitrogen fixation by green grams in two cropping systems was also determined. The Most Probable ...
