Synthesis of Nylon-ferrous Oxide Chitosan Immobilised Silica Nanoprobe for Detection of Ralstonia solanacearum
(Journal of Agriculture and Ecology Research International, 2016)
Accurate detection of plant pathogen precedes control. Misdiagnosis of diseases results in chemical waste, crop damage and ultimately income loss. Precision in pathogen detection has been made possible by advances in plant ...
Effects of Land Use Change on Banana Production:A Case Study of Imenti South Sub-County of Meru County in Kenya
(Britain International of Exact Sciences Journal, 2020-09)
Most high agricultural potential regions in Kenya such as Imenti South (Meru County) have exceeded their population density and have been associated with sharp decline in farm productivity. There has been a ...
SUSCEPTIBLE ONION GROWTH STAGES FOR SELECTIVE AND ECONOMIC PROTECTION FROM ONION THRIPS INFESTATION
(Karatina University, 2008-03)
The growth of the bulb onion is subject to significant stress and yield reduction caused by sap
feeding onion thrips. In Kenya, the general control recommendation is to spray the crop with
insecticides as soon as the ...
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 ...
In Vitro Analysis of Antibacterial and Antifungal Potency af Tissue Cultured and Indigenous Aloe Secundiflora Plant Extracts
(American Research Institute for Policy Development, 2014-06)
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 ...
