Available technologies to replenish soil fertility in East Africa
(University of NairobiDepartment of Land Resource Management and Agricultural Technology, 2007)Low inherent soil fertility in the highly weathered and leached soils largely accounts for low and unsustained crop yields in most African countries. But in particular, the major nutrients, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), ... -
Selecting Rhizobium Phaseoli Strains For Use With Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) In Kenya . I. Ineffectiveness And Tolerance Of Acidity And Aluminium.
(University of NairobiDepartment of Land Resource Management and Agricultural Technology, 1988)Forty one strains of Rhizobium phaseoli were screened for the ability to multiply at high temperatures on yeast extract-mannitol agar. Most strains were tolerant of 30°C, eight strains were tolerant of 45°C and two of 47°C ... -
Soil Organic Carbon Fractions In A Long-term Experiment And The Potential For Their Use As A Diagnostic Assay In Highland Farming Systems Of Central Kenya Highlands.
(University of NairobiDepartment of Land Resource Management and Agricultural Technology, 1998)Soil organic matter fractions provide insight into soil quality and the maintenance of crop productivity in smallhold cropping systems. Soil organic carbon (SOC) pools were measured and compared to crop performance during ... -
Scanning and transmission electron microscopic study of the tracheal air sac system in a grasshopper Chrotogonus senegalensis (Kraus)—Orthoptera: Acrididae: Pyrogomorphinae
(WileyDepartment of Veterinary Anatomy,University of Nairobi, 1989)The morphology of the trachea-air sac system in a species of grasshopper Chrotogonus senegalensis has been studied by using scanning and transmission electron microscopes. Capacious air sacs were formed as dilatations along ... -
Occurrence of Fusarium Head Blight–causing Pathogens and Mycotoxins in Kenyan Wheat
(Department of Veterinary Pathology, Microbiology & Parasitology, 2006)Fusarium head blight is a devastating disease of wheat and other small-grain cereals, causing grain yield reduction, reduced quality and mycotoxin contamination. This study was conducted in two districts of Kenya to determine ... -

Ultrastructural characterization of the pulmonary cellular defences in the lung of a bird, the rock dove, Columba livia
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy University of Nairobi,, 1998)Free (surface) avian respiratory macrophages (FARMs) were harvested by lavage of the lung/air–sac system of the rock dove, Columba livia. The presence of FARMs in the atria and infundibula was confirmed by scanning electron ... -

The morphology of the respiratory organs of the African air-breathing catfish (Clarias mossambicus): A light, electron and scanning microscopic study, with morphometric observations
(Department of Animal Physiology, University of NairobiDepartment of Veterinary Anatomy University of Nairobi,, 1986)The morphology of the gas exchange organs of the African air-breathing catfish (Clarias mossambicus) (Peters) have been examined grossly, and by light, electron and scanning microscopes. The respiratory organs in Clarias ... -

The Morphometry of the Lung of the African Lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus): Its Structural--Functional Correlations
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy University of Nairobi,Department of Animal Physiology, University of Nairobi, 1985)The lung of the African lungfish Protopterus aethiopicus has been investigated by morphometric techniques. The volume of the lung was strongly correlated with body mass. The exchange tissue made up about 50% of the lung. ... -
The Effect Of Post-harvest Crop Cover On Soil Erosion In A Maize-legume Based Cropping System In Gatanga, Kenya.
(University of NairobiDepartment of Land Resource Management and Agricultural Technology, 2002)The study was conducted on farmers' fields in Gatanga Division, Thika District of Central Kenya with the aim of assessing the effect of selected legume cover crops on soil erosion especially at the onset of the rain season ... -
