Comparative effects of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on Radopholus similis infection in East African Highland Banana plants as influenced by rhizosphere biota
Ochieno, Dennis M.W. (Scientific African, 2022-08-13)Root parasitism by Radopholus similis may vary under different nutritional conditions and soil substrates. Such variations in nematode infection may affect deductions from evaluations of pest control measures. Three parallel ... -
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 ... -
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae strain Foxy 2 did not achieve biological control of Striga hermonthica parasitizing maize in Western Kenya
Avedi, Edith K.; Ochieno, Dennis M.W.; Ajanga, Samuel; Wanyama, Collins; Elzein e, Abuelgasim; Beed, Fen (Biological Control, 2014-06-12)The production of maize, a major staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa is being constrained by the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica. The fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae (Foxy 2) that causes fusarium wilt of ... -
Fusarium oxysporum V5w2 is a non-beneficial endophyte that interacts with Radopholus similis in a wilt disease complex of banana
Ochieno, Dennis M.W. (Scientific African, 2021-11)Fusarium oxysporum V5w2 is a fungal agent, which was originally intended for biological control of the root pathogenic nematode Radopholus similis among other banana pests. Information on some of its actual effects on ... -
Towards consensus on the transfer of Fusarium oxysporum V5w2-enhanced tissue culture banana technology to farmers through public-private partnerships in East Africa
Ochieno, Dennis M.W. (Science Direct, 2020-11)Nonpathogenic strains of Fusarium oxysporum are promising weapons in the endophytic biological control warfare against various banana pests, especially the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus and the root endoparasitic ...
