Current characteristics of cassava mosaic disease in post-epidemic’ areas increase the range of possible management options.
(Association of Applied Biologists, 2006-06-05)
As a case study to document the current characteristics of cassava mosaic virus disease (CMD) in postepidemic areas, surveys were carried out, in 2003 and 2004, in Siaya District of western Kenya. This was an area affected ...
Effects of integrated nutrient sources on growth and yield of strawberry grown under tropical high altitude conditions.
(Horticultural Association of Kenya, 2008)
Strawberries are popular both in fresh and processed forms because of their enormous values. Low soil fertility is among major factors constraining strawberry productivity in Kenya. Consequently, effects of cattle farmyard ...
Effects of mulch and cultivar on strawberry productivity under tropical highland conditions.
(2006)
A study was conducted to determine effects of four mulches (cut grass, clear polyjilm, black polyjilm, and none) on productivity of four strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch) cultivars (Pajaro, Aiko, Fern and Douglas) under ...
