Interaction of Phaseolus vulgaris with thermotolerant isolates of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovarphaseoli from Kenyan soils Interaction dePhaseolus vulgaris avec des isolats thermo-tolérants deRhizobium leguminosarum biovarPhaseoli de sols du Kenya
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1989)
Thermotolerant strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovarphaseoli were isolated from nodules of Phaseolus vulgaris grown in Kenyan soils, where high soil temperatures often exceed 40°C during sunny days. The isolates varied ...
Effect of protein: starch ratio on microwave expansion of imitation cheese-based product
(Elsevier, 2011)
Microwave expansion of imitation cheese is a novel way of producing a potentially health crispy snack food. This study aimed to investigate the effects of protein:starch (P:S) ratios of 37:0, 24:13, 20:17 or 16:21 and ...
Banana distribution and their seed systems in central and eastern Kenya.
(African Crop Science Society, 2011)
Bananas (Musa spp.) serve as food, income resource and animal feed in addition to other environmental benefits. In Kenya, the crop is mainly grown and managed by smallholder farmers. Over the last two decades, banana ...
Agronomic biofortification of maize and beans in Kenya through selenium fertilization
(Springer Netherlands, 2019)
Deficiency in calcium, zinc, selenium, and iodine remains a major health issue in Africa. A selenium (Se) status survey conducted in central Kenya highlands revealed a high risk of dietary Se deficiency. This study ...
Antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from Nairobi River
(2006)
This study aimed to evaluate the antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from six sites along the pollution gradient of Nairobi River. Bacteria were isolated by standard Methods and grouped into 3 categories; enteric ...
Variation in nitrogen fixation among three Bush Bean cultivars grown in Kenya when inoculated with three Rhizobia Strains
(Greener Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2012)
Crop water relationships and thermal adaptation of Kathika beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and green grams (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) with special reference to temporal patterns of potential growth in the drylands of SE-Kenya
(Academic Press, 2001)
High soil temperatures influence seedling emergence as well as the performance of plant organs and yields. Temperatures of above 40°C were recorded in the topsoil of the Ferralsols of the semi-arid areas of SE-Kenya during ...
Nitrogen fixation by common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in pure and mixed stands in semi-arid south-east Kenya
(Elsevier, 2001)
Research was carried out in the field on the effect of intercropping common bean and maize crops in a semi-arid zone of south-east Kenya over two rainy seasons in 1997. The experimental design was a randomised complete ...
Biological nitrogen fixation by promiscuous soybean (Glycine max L. Merril) in the central highlands of Kenya: response to inorganic fertilizer soil amendments.
(IDOSI Publications, 2010)
Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) by promiscuous soybean cultivars offers a potential for minimizing the investment made by resource-limited farmers in central highlands of Kenya. Nitrogen fixation in this grain legume ...
Studies on the Ecophysiology of Locally Suitable Cultivars of Food Crops and Soil Fertility Monitoring in the Semi-arid Areas of Southeast Kenya: A Final Report on a Collaborative Research Project Between Kenyatta University, Nairobi/Kenya, and the University of Trier, Germany
