Yarrowia Lipolytica as a host for heterologous expression of cytochrome P450 monoxygenase
(Centre For Biotechnology & Bioinformatics Publications, 2008) -
The yeast production system in which Escherichia coli phytase is expressed may affect growth performance, bone ash, and nutrient use in broiler chicks.
(University of Nairobi,Department of Animal Sciences, 2004-03)The efficacy of three Escherichia coli-derived phytase preparations on the performance and nutrient utilization of broiler chicks was evaluated. Two hundred sixteen 7-d-old male broiler chicks were grouped by weight into ... -

(Department of Plant Science and Crop Protection, 1973) -
“Yes Man Syndrome”: a Preferred Ploy of Ingratiation
(University of Nairobi, 2022)Finding out which of the dimensions of ingratiation has more effect on the target person is the objective of the study. The basic aspect to effective ingratiation is the exact approach used to increase liking. Literature ... -
Yield advantage in intercropping of high density arabica coffee with dry beans.
(University of Nairobi, 1992)In a five-year intercropping experiment (1978-82) in Kenya, 0, 2, 4 and 8 dry bean rows were interplanted in high density arabica coffee (planted in 1971 and thinned in 1978 to spacing 2×1 m) and received 0, 80 and 160 kg ... -
Yield and quality of kale as affected by nitrogen side-dressing, spacing and supplementary irrigation.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1984)In trials with the cv. Thousand Headed wide spacing (76 × 60 cm) increased mean fresh weight, branching and leaf production. Close spacing (76 × 30 cm) significantly increased total leaf yield/ha but decreased leaf:petiole ... -
Yield and water use efficiencies of maize and cowpea as affected by tillage and cropping systems in semi-arid Eastern Kenya
(University of Nairobi,Department of Land Resource Management and Agricultural Technology, 2012)Soil water conservation through tillage is widely accepted as one of the ways of improving crop yields in rainfed agriculture. Field experiments were conducted between 2007 and 2009 to evaluate the effects of conservation ... -
Yield and yield stability of four population types of grain sorghum in a semi-arid area of Kenya
(Universty of Nairobi, 2000)Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is widely grown in semi-arid tropics where local farmers depend on the adaptability of their rainfed crops to unpredictable drought and other stress factors. To investigate the effects ... -

Yield Performance of Potato Seed Tubers After Storage in a Diffuse Light Store
(University of Nairobi, 2014)An on-farm trial was carried out at KARI (Tigoni) and in Nyandarua County in central Kenyan highlands, to determine the yields of some common potato cultivars following storage in a diffuse light store (DLS) for eight ... -
Yield stability in small red inter-racial common bean lines in Kenya
(African Crop Science Journal, 2019)Agronomic performance of new common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties may vary considerably in diverse agro-ecological zones, due to genotype-environment (G x E) interactions. A multi-site evaluation is, therefore, ... -
Yield, Safety and functional properties of starch from different Kenyan Cassava
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Food Science, Nutrition and Technology, 2011)Several cassava cultivars have been bred for various necessary traits (disease resistant, drought resistant and high yielding) in Kenya. However, these cassava cultivars have not been assessed for their technological usage ... -
You cannot prevent a disease; you only treat diseases when they occur: knowledge, attitudes and practices to water-health in a rural Kenyan community.
(University of NairobiSchool of Public HealthSchool of Public Health, 2011-06)OBJECTIVE: Almost 1 billion individuals lack access to improved water supplies, with 2.6 billion lacking adequate sanitation. This leads to the propagation of multiple waterborne diseases. The objective of this study was ... -
