Effect of Biological Contro Antagonists Adsorbed on Chitosan Immobilized Silica Nanocomposite on Ralstonia solanacearum and Growth of Tomato Seedlings
(Advances in Research, 2016)
Background: Biological control holds promise in managing bacterial wilt disease. However, its efficacy is limited by harsh environmental conditions when applied without use of suitable carrier materials.
Aim: The study ...
Integration of Commercial Microbiological Products into Soil Fertility Practices as a Potential Option for Acclimatization and Growth of TC Banana in Kenya
(Open Journal of Soil Science, 2014)
Tissue culture (TC) banana plantlets at the in vitro stage are delicate and devoid of microbes and nutrients that are essential for establishment and subsequent growth. Some microbes are known for function best under ...
Biocontrol of Fusarium root rot in beans by antagonistic Trichoderma fungi
(International Journal of AgriScience, 2013-07)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is one of the most important economic crop which is attacked by serious diseases such as Fusarium root rot. In this study, the efficacy of Trichoderma viride and T. koningii were evaluated ...

Community Monitoring of Forest Carbon Stocks and Safeguards Tracking in Kenya: Design and Implementation Considerations
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc, 2015-04)
This paper investigates modalities required to design and implement community monitoring of forest carbon stock changes and safeguards implementation in Kenya. General principles and elements were drawn from the UNFCCC ...
Occurrence of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Fusarium in TC Banana Rhizosphere Inoculated with Microbiological Products in Different Soils in Kenya
(International Journal of Soil Science, 2015)
The impact of microbiological commercial products (PHC Biopak, Rhizatech and ECO-T) on the occurrence of mycorrhizae and Fusarium in the rhizosphere of tissue culture banana (Gros Mitchel cv.) was assessed. Tissue cultured ...
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 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 ...
Nutrient Budget and Economic Assessment of Blended Fertilizer Use in Kenya Tea Industry
(Hidawi, 2018-11-18)
Kenya’s tea industry depends predominantly on imported compound NPK fertilizers to replenish nutrients removed through plucking. These fertilizers cannot be easily manipulated for specific soils and tea clones. They also ...
