    Agronomic effectiveness of water hyacinth-based composts 

    mukama, Dennis Beesiga; Katusabe, Alice Amoding; Tumuhairwe, John Baptist; Muoma, John; Maingi, John M.; Ombori, Omwoyo; Nakanwagi, Josephine; Mukaminega, Dative (African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2018-09)
    Because water hyacinth-based compost contains substantial amounts of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) its application can boost crop production. We evaluated the agronomic performance of water hyacinth - based ...

    Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation of Selected Kenyan Maize (Zea mays L.) Genotypes by Introgression of Nicotiana Protein Kinase (npk1) to Enhance Drought Tolerance 

    Muoma, John Vincent Omondi; Ombori, Omwoyo (American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2014-03)
    Currently maize production in the East and Central Africa (ECA) region is at 1.3 tonnes per hectare compared to the potential of up to 7.0 tonnes per hectare because of biotic and abiotic constraints, and this has resulted ...
