Modelling soil water distribution under Moistube irrigation for cowpea (VIGNA unguiculata(L.) Walp.) crop(dagger)
(Irrigation and Drainage, 2020-07-22)Moistube irrigation (MTI) is a type of technology which uses a semipermeable membrane to emit water continuously in response to soil water potential and applied pressure. Soil water dynamics under MTI incorporating plant ... -
Nutritional yield and nutritional water productivity of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) under varying irrigation water regimes
(Water SA, 2020-07)There is a need to mainstream traditional crops in sub-Saharan Africa, in order to tackle food and nutritional insecurity through incorporating nutritional quality into crop water productivity, in the wider context of the ... -
Effect of Moistube and subsurface drip irrigation on cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (I.) Walp) production in South Africa
(Water SA, 2020-04-29)Moistube Irrigation (MTI) is a new subsurface irrigation technology where the water emits from a semi-permeable membrane at a slow rate depending on applied pressure and soil water potential. There is lack of information ... -
Water resource management: IWRM strategies for improved water management.
(plos one, 2021-05-25)Objective The analytical study systematically reviewed the evidence about the IWRM strategy model. The study analysed the IWRM strategy, policy advances and practical implications it had, since inception on effective ... -
Hydraulic and clogging characteristics of Moistube irrigation as influenced by water quality
(Journal of Water Supply: Research and Technology, 2018-06-12)Irrigation consumes approximately 70% of total freshwater use worldwide. This necessitates the use of efficient irrigation methods such as micro-irrigation. Moistube irrigation (MI) is a new subsurface irrigation technology ... -
Soil water dynamics under Moistube irrigation
(Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, 2020-02)The design and management of irrigation systems require knowledge of soil water movement. There are few studies on soil water dynamics of Moistube irrigation (MTI) since it is a relatively new type of subsurface irrigation ... -
Rhizobium-Linked Nutritional and Phytochemical Changes Under Multitrophic Functional Contexts in Sustainable Food Systems
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021-01-11)Rhizobia are bacteria that exhibit both endophytic and free-living lifestyles. Endophytic rhizobial strains are widely known to infect leguminous host plants, while some do infect non-legumes. Infection of leguminous roots ... -
Rhizobium improves nutritive suitability and tolerance of Phaseolus vulgaris to Colletotrichum lindemuthianum by boosting organic nitrogen content
(Applied Soil Ecology, 202-05)Symbiotic nitrogen fixing Rhizobium species have been reported to trigger induced resistance reactions that are inhibitive to aboveground antagonists. We tested the hypothesis that root infection by nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium ... -

INFLUENCE OF HEADTEACHERS’ AUTOCRATIC LEADERSHIP STYLE ON IMPLEMENTATION OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN UASIN GISHU COUNTY, KENYA
(MMUST, 2019-04-04)Kenyan schools have been encouraged to the pressure of inclusion to embrace integration of all learners including those with disabilities. The problem is that, despite the adoption of this policy in Kenya (2009), realization ... -
Conditions for high growth rates of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry in Western Kenya
(MMUST, 2018-03-07)This study evaluated the effects of various temperatures on growth of 17 alpha Methyl Testosterone treated Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry in Western Kenya. Nile tilapia larvae of Lake Victoria strain which had ... -
Nurses’ Competence on Intravenous Fluid Therapy in Under-Fives with Dehydration in Kakamega County HospitalsKenya
(MMUST, 2018-04)Worldwide, there are two billion cases of diarrheal disease that kill approximately 1.5 million children due to dehydration every year, which is treated by fluid and electrolytes replacement. Inappropriate use of intravenous ... -
Feminization Of Oreochromis Niloticus Using Diethylstilbestrol
(MMUST, 2018-10)Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) is one of the best choices for fish farmers. It is tolerant to adverse environmental conditions, it can survive at low dissolved O2, it is euryhaline, relatively fast growing and efficient ... -
Vermicomposting Water Hyacinth:
(MMUST, 2019-01-01)Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) in Lake Victoria has caused water loss through evapotranspiration, provided a breeding ground for mosquitoes and interfered with fishing and navigation. The weed contains macronutrients ... -
Encapsulation of E. coli in biomimetic and Fe3O4-doped hydrogel:
(Springer, 2017-07-31)The current study reports the modification of prokaryotic microorganism through a single-layer technique by using different polyanions/cations and doping with magnetic (Fe3O4) nanoparticles. Briefly, individual Escherichia ... -
Surface engineering of microbial cells:
(Engineered Science Publisher LLC 2018, 2018-03-14)Microbial cells (bacteria, fungi, and algae) and viruses are important part of life; which besides their harmful effects, perform several useful functions owing to their unique cell surface properties. The unique structures ... -
