Buffer pH methods for estimation of lime requirement of tropical acid soils.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1981)Lime requirements (LR) of 26 acid agricultural soils were estimated using the following buffer methods: Shoemaker-McLean-Pratt single buffer (SMP-SB), SMP double buffer (SMP-DB), Mehlich buffer method for crops with high ... -
Soil acidity components of tropical acid soils: their roles in determining lime requirement values and the effect of lime upon them.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1982)Clay content, pH, organic matter content (%C), cation exchange capacity (CEC), exchangeable Al, exchangeable Mn, exchangeable acidity (ACe), residual acidity (ACr) and total acidity of 26 agricultural soils were determined. ... -
The effect of level of CaCO3, inoculation and lime pelleting on the nodulation and growth of beans in five acid soils.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1981)In greenhouse trials with Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Canadian Wonder grown on 5 acid soils of pH 3.9-5.1, nodule wt. decreased with increasing percentage soil C, and at 5.60% C no nodules were observed. In soils with low OM ... -
Rhizobium phaseoli inoculation trials on farmers' fields in Kenya.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1988)A study was conducted on farmers' fields in Kikuyu Division, Kenya, to determine whether inoculating bean seeds with Rhizobium phaseoli could match the N supplied by 200 kg of diammonium phosphate (DAP) for pure stands of ... -
Competition in Kenyan soils between Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli strain Kim5 and R. tropici strain CIAT899 using the gusA marker gene.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1998)The contribution of appropriate inoculum strains to more efficient nitrogen fixation by legumes has been difficult to assess due to the laborious nature of the assays involved in assessing establishment of inoculum strains ... -
Soil management with respect to liming, manuring and other soil amendments in East Africa.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1978)Some recent studies on the use of lime, FYM, plant residues, filtermud, ash, calcium silicate, and OM in East Africa are briefly reviewed. -
The role of biological nitrogen fixation in crop production.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1983)Efficiency of N fixation by legumes and the benefits and constraints in the use of inoculants are discussed with reference to Centrosema pubescens, Phaseolus vulgaris, white clover, soyabeans, peas, cowpeas, pigeon peas, ... -
Levels of vitamins A and C in some Kenyan vegetable plants
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 1979)Leaves of Crotalaria brevidens, Amaranthus lividus, Gynandropsis gynandra and Corchorus olitorius all grown in Kenya had vitamin C 100 to 150 mu g/g. C. brevidens and A. lividus had most vitamin A, 250 to 300 and 200 mu ... -
Leaf protein content of some Kenya vegetables.
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 1973)The protein content (N X 6.25) of tender leaves of collected Kenyan plants which can be classified as herbs except for Erythrococca bongensis, a shrub, was as follows: Basella alba 20.5, E. bongensis 18.1, Solanum tuberosum ... -
Genetics of Hessian fly resistance in spring barley.
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 1976)The resistance of Algiers, Besert and Dinar, varieties of North African origin, was analysed in detail and compared with that of Delta, a variety previously established as having stable resistance. There appeared to be ... -
