Influence of Biozyme® on chlorophyll content, flowering and physiological maturity of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars
(2013-09-19)
The study was conducted at Egerton University in 2010/2011 in a split plot experiment,
arranged in a randomized complete block design. The research was replicated three times and
repeated once. Main plots were assigned ...
Nematodes and fungi associated with apple replant disorder in sampled New York State orchards.
(2014)
The factors associated with unthrifty growth of apple are not fully determined, resulting i n inadequate diagnosis of apple replant disorder (ARD). The present study isolated and identified nematodes and fungi from ARD ...
Irrigation rate and mulch type significantly affect some physiological processes of purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. edulis Sims.) under drought stress.
(2011-12)
Purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. edulis Sims.) is an important fruit in the tropics, but its growth can be adversely affected by drought stress. This study evaluated effects of irrigation rate and mulch type on ...
Response of strawberry quality and profitability to farmyard manure and triple super phosphate under tropical high altitude conditions
(2011)
Quality of strawberries in the tropics is partly limited by poor soil fertility, while profitability of different nutrient management strategies has not been established. The present study determined the effect of 0, 18, ...
Climate change adaptation of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.): Influence of Biozyme® rate on potato yield, quality and mineral nutrient uptake
(2013-07)
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important food crop worldwide. Growers prefer
potato because of its short growing season and tolerance to poor soils. Growers are
using different agrochemicals so as to improve tuber ...

(2011-07)
The effectiveness of phytosanitation in managing cassava mosaic disease (CMD) was studied in a post-epidemic area of western Kenya. Four varieties [MM96/4466 (resistant), TMS 30572 (Migyera, moderately resistant), Bukalasa ...
Irrigation rate and mulch type significantly affect growth and flowering of purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. edulis Sims).
(2011)
Purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. edulis Sims.) is an important fruit in the tropics, but its growth can be adversely affected by drought stress. This study evaluated effects of irrigation rate and mulch type on ...
Climate change adaptation of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) 2: Influence of Biozyme® rate on potato growth and development.
(2013-07-31)
Potato is an important food crop worldwide. Growers adopt potato production due its short growing season and poor soils tolerance. They use agrochemicals to improve growth under unreliable rainfall. Biozyme® foliar feed ...
Irrigation and mulch significantly enhance yield but not quality of purple passion fruits
(2011)
Purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. edulis Sims.) is an important fruit in the juice industry but its yields can drastically decline under drought stress. The present study evaluated the effects of irrigation and ...
Effect of pruning time and resting period on total non-structural carbohydrates, regrowth, and yield of tea (Camellia sinensis L.).
(Taylor and Francis, 2015-11-07)
An experiment was conducted at Kipkebe Estate, Sotik, Kenya, with the aim of establishing the effects of pruning time and resting period on total non-structural carbohydrate (TNC) reserves, regrowth and yield of tea. In ...
