(Journal of Water Security, 2016-10-26)
River Nzoia in Kenya, due to its role in transporting industrial and municipal wastes in addition to agricultural runoff to Lake Victoria, is vulnerable to pollution. Dissolved oxygen is one of the most important indicators ...
First Full Length Genome Sequence of Bean Common Mosaic Necrosis Virus (BCMNV) Isolated from Common Bean in Western Kenya
(International Journal of Genetics and Genomics, 2019-12-02)
Bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV) is one of the most common and most destructive viruses of common bean and can cause a yield loss as high as 100%. The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) is an important legume crop ...
Genetic diversity of symbiotic bacteria nodulating common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in western Kenya
(Plos One, 2018-11-15)
Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in legumes plays a critical role in improving soil fertility. Despite this vital role, there is limited information on the genetic diversity and BNF of bacteria nodulating common bean ...
COUPLING HYDROLOGICAL AND CROP MODELS FOR IMPROVED AGRICULTURAL WATER MANAGEMENT - A REVIEW
(Bulgarian Journal of Agricultural Science, 2018-04-09)
Understanding the relationships among plant, soil, and water is important in agricultural water management practices. Simulation of the soil water balance is central to improving crop water productivity. Individual crop ...
Evaluation of vaginal cytology through clue cell detection and Nugent’s score in the laboratory diagnosis of Bacterial Vaginosis in women of reproductive age
(journal of medical science and clinical research, 2018-01)
Background: Diagnosis of various causes of vaginal discharge is done by detailed history taking, physical
examination and laboratory investigations. Use Nugent’s score as laboratory tests remains the gold
standard however, ...
Effects of lime and fertilizer on soil properties and maize yields in acid soils of Western Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2018-03-29)
Many soils in Western Kenya are acidic and deficient in nitrogen and phosphorus. Acidity hinders crop responses to fertilizers applied to remedy nutrient deficiencies. The common liming materials used to ameliorate acidity ...
