Anthropogenic activities affect forest structure and arthropod abundance in a Kenyan biodiversity hotspot
(2023-07)
Land-use change remains the main threat to tropical forests and their dependent fauna and flora, and degradation of existing forest remnants will further accelerate species loss. Forest degradation may result directly from ...
The Influence of Institutional Resources on Doctorate Degree Enrolment and Completion Rates in Selected Public Universities Kenya
(Micro-think Institute, 2023-10-16)
Doctorates are fundamental pivot towards facilitating the social and economic transformation of a nation.
Nevertheless, research on doctorate education point out that most candidates in Kenyan public
universities spend ...
Spatio-temporal change of selected soil physico-chemical properties in grevillea-banana agroforestry systems.
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-09-18)
In Africa, banana is mainly produced by small-scale farmers under complex production systems for both home consumption and income generation. Low soil fertility continually constraints its production and farmers are embarking ...
Analysis of Short-Term Drought Episodes Using Sentinel-3 SLSTR Data under a Semi-Arid Climate in Lower Eastern Kenya.
(2023-06)
This study uses Sentinel-3 SLSTR data to analyze short-term drought events between
2019 and 2021. It investigates the crucial role of vegetation cover, land surface temperature, and
water vapor amount associated with ...
Hourly reference evapotranspiration analysis using synoptic meteorological measurements and ERA5 reanalysis data from Kenyan Counties
(2023-09)
Kenya has had five failed rain seasons for the last three years. In this context, there was a mass recurrent crop failure, death of livestock and wildlife, persistent water scarcity, and droughts of varying intensities. ...
Spawning interactions between hatchery-reared and wild naturalized rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum, 1792) in high-altitude tropical streams, Kenya
(Wiley, 2022-07)
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is among the most widely translocated fish species in the world. The current study evaluated the spawning interactions between naturalized and wild rainbow trout from two high-altitude ...
Effects of blended fertilizers on soil chemical properties of mature tea fields in Kenya
(2018-06)
Kenya’s tea industry depends predominantly on imported NPK fertilizers to replenish nutrients removed through plucking. In this respect, two blended fertilizers containing NPKS 25:5:5:4+9Ca+2.6Mg and NPKS 23:5:5:4+10Ca+3Mg ...
Effects of Blended Fertilizers on Leaf Nutrients Content of Mature Clonal Tea in Kenya. Journal of Experimental Research. Volume 6 (2).
(Enugu State University of Science & Technology, 2018-06)
Fertilizer studies in Kenya tea industry have focused predominantly on compound NPK. These fertilizers cannot be easily manipulated for specific soils and tea clones. In this respect, Athi River Mining limited has produced ...
EFFECTS OF BLENDED FERTILIZERS ON YIELDS OF MATURE TEA CLONES TRFK 6/8 AND BBK 35 GROWN IN KENYAN HIGHLANDS
(2018-08)
Kenya’s tea industry depends predominantly on imported NPK fertilizers to replenish nutrients removed through plucking. In this respect, two blended fertilizers containing NPKS 25:5:5:4+9Ca+2.6Mg and NPKS 23:5:5:4+10Ca+3Mg ...
Do Mixed-Species Legume Fallows Provide Long-Term Maize Yield Benefit Compared with Monoculture Legume Fallows?
(Wiley, 2009-11-01)
The deliberate planting of fast-growing N2–fixing legume monoculture species in rotation with cereal crops can be an important source of N for soil fertility replenishment. We hypothesized that mixed-species fallows have ...
