Belowground Influence of Rhizobium Inoculant and Water Hyacinth Composts on Yellow Bean Infested by Aphis fabae and Colletotrichum lindemuthianum under Field Conditions
Naluyange, Victoria; Ochieno, Dennis; Wandahwa, Philip; Odendo, Martins; Maingi, John; Amoding, Alice; Ombori, Omwoyo; Mukaminega, Dative; Muoma, John (Journal of Plant Studies, 2016-04)Rhizobium inoculant has been developed for bean production in Lake Victoria basin. Two types of compost have been developed, water hyacinth compost with cattle manure culture (H+CMC) or with effective microbes (H+EM). ... -
Compatibility of Rhizobium inoculant and water hyacinth compost formulations in Rosecoco bean and consequences on Aphis fabae and Colletotrichum lindemuthianum infestations
Naluyange, Victoria; Ochieno, Dennis M.W.; Maingi, John M.; Ombori, Omwoyo; Mukaminega, Dative; Amoding, Alice; Odendo, Martins; Okothf, Sheila A.; Shivog, William A.; Muomaa, John V.O. (Applied Soil Ecology, 2014-04)The common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris is an important crop for food security and nitrogen fixation through Rhizobium symbiosis. Commercial Rhizobium inoculants are being promoted to fix nitrogen and enhance bean production ... -
Effect of nitrogen sources on the yield of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in western Kenya
Kawaka, Fanuel; Dida, Mathews; Opala, Peter; Ombori, Omwoyo; Maingi, John; Amoding, Alice; Muoma, John (Journal of Plant Nutrition, 2018-05-15)Depletion of soil nutrients due to continuous cultivation without adequate external fertilization is one of the challenges facing many smallholder farmers in western Kenya. This study was conducted to assess the effects ... -
