Agronomic effectiveness of water hyacinth-based composts
(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 ...

Effects of Different Nitrogen Fertilizer Levels on Sunflower Growth and Yield Attributes
(Pakistan Journal of Nutrition, 2018-10)
Background and Objective: Controlled application of Nitrogen fertilizer to the soil improves growth and yield of crops. However crops are sensitive to the amount of nitrogen fertilizers applied. Excessive nitrogen fertilization ...
Erythrocyte indices, anaemia levels and types in Kenyan injection and non-injection substance users
(Europe PMC plus, 2018-10-03)
The impact of injection and non-injection substance use in HIV infections is an area of great public importance especially with respect to hematologic and immune profiles. Evaluations of hematologic and immune status are ...
Molecular Footprint of Kenya’s Gene Bank Repositories Based on the <i>cp</i>-Genome Signatures
(American Journal of Molecular Biology, 2018-10)
While the mutational processes that subsume biological diversity can be revealed in great detail through phylogenetic inferencing using plastid markers, few studies document their use. Accurate phylogenic inference can ...
