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 ...
Genome-Wide Identification of the B-Box Gene Family and Expression Analysis Suggests Their Potential Role in Photoperiod-Mediated β-Carotene Accumulation in the Endocarp of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Fruit
(MDPI, 2022)
Carotenoids are indispensable to plants and essential for human nutrition and health.
Carotenoid contents are strongly influenced by light through light-responsive genes such as B-Box (BBX)
genes. BBX proteins, a class ...
PRODUCTION OF MINERAL NUTRIENT-RICH MULTIPURPOSE PUMPKIN LEAFY VEGETABLES USING INTEGRATED NITROGEN, MULCH AND GA3
(2022-04)
Understanding the effect of nitrogen, mulch and gibberellic acid on minerals and metabolites in multipurpose
pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch) is important since it is a dependable source of food, providing families
producing ...
Occurrence of fungal foliar diseases of tomato in different agro-ecological zones of Kirinyaga County, Kenya
(Fundamental and Applied Agriculture, 2022-03)
Tomato production is characterized by inconsistent quality and yields due to
biotic constraints such as fungal foliar diseases. Information on the occurrence of the diseases in different agro-ecological zones of Kenya is ...
INTEGRATED NITROGEN, MULCH AND GIBBERELLIC ACID SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE PHOTOSYNTHATES IN MULTIPURPOSE PUMPKIN LEAVES
(International Journal of Scientific Research and Innovative Technology, 2022)
Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) edible leaves, fruits and seeds contribute to household food
and nutrition enhancement. However, cultivation using limitedinputslead to poor growth. This
study assessed effectsof nitrogen, ...
Evaluation of Endogenous Phytocomponents and Amino Acids Associated with Direct Somatic Embryogenesis of Coffee (Coffea arabicaL.)
(Journal of Advances in Agriculture, 2022)
Coffee is one of the mostimportant cropscultivated in the world for use in beverages and confectionaries. Embryogenesis is a complex process that begins with a single cell and ends with the formation ...
Factors Influencing Adoption of Pigeon Pea and its Impact on Household Food Security in Machakos County, Kenya
(Asian Journal of Agricultural Extension, Economics & Sociology, 2022)
A household survey was carried out in Kalama, Mwala and Yatta Sub-counties of MachakosCounty Kenya to obtain data on the current situation of pigeon pea value chain. A total of 414households were interviewed in the month ...
Exploring Entropy pruning coupled with Capsule Neural Network(CapsNet) for leaf disease classification
(2022-03)
In an attempt to detect plant leaf diseases faster, accurately, and more efficiently, researchers
have adopted deep learning methods using models like CNN and CapsNet with some success.
However, there is a need for ...
Impact of land use/land cover changes on ecosystem service values in the cherangany hills water tower, Kenya
(Elsevier, 2022)
Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) changes alter the ecosystem structure and function, resulting in variations of the
Ecosystem Service Values (ESVs). This study investigated the impacts of LULC changes on ESVs over 37 years
in ...
Effect of Rhizobium Inoculation and Phosphate Rock Fertilizer Application on Biomass Production, Nutrient use Efficiency and Yield Parameters of Green Gram (Vigna radiata)
(Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate (KEPHIS), Kenya, 2022)
The research was focused on an ecologically sound and highly production of legumes particularly
green gram through the application of Rhizobium and rock phosphate fertilizer. Therefore, biomass
production, nutrient use ...
