Poly Film Cover and Calcium Foliar Application Affect Occurrence and Prevalence of Two-Spotted Spider Mites in Rose Flower
(2020-06)
Spider mite is a major constraint in rose flower production. Though flower producers have not quantified the magnitude of the losses incurred, the quantity of the miticides used on their control is enormous. This experiment ...
Combining Host Plant Resistance, Selective Insecticides, and Biological Control Agents for Integrated Management of Tuta absoluta
(2020-07-07)
Combination of pest management strategies that minimize pesticide use and conserve natural enemies is important for a sustainable environment. Overreliance on synthetic insecticides in the management of Tuta absoluta has ...

In-vitro Evaluation of Fungicide Sensitivity of Tomato Leaf Blight Pathogens
(Jurnal Pertanian Tropik (JPT), 2021)
Tomato early and late blight diseases caused by Alternaria solani and Phytophthora infestans respectively, are constraints to tomato production globally. Conventional use of commercial synthetic fungicides in management ...
A Backward Regressed Capsule Neural Network for Plant Leaf Disease Detection
(Science Publications, 2022)
This study investigated the introduction of backward regression coupled with DenseNet features in a Capsule Neural Network(CapsNet) for plant leaf disease classification. Plant diseases are considered done of the main ...
Soil management strategies enhanced crop yield, soil moisture, and water productivity in Nitisols of the Upper Eastern Kenya
(Elsevier, 2021)
Low soil moisture and declining crop yield caused by erratic rainfall, and poor soil management practises contribute to the continuous decrease in water productivity. We sought to assess the effects of the selected soil ...
