Reaction of some Kenyan wheat cultivars to head blight after inoculation with Fusarium graminearum
(2007)Eight cultivars of wheat that are commonly grown in Nakuru and Nyandarua districts of Kenya were tested for their susceptibility to Fusarium head blight (scab) under green house conditions. The cultivars were inoculated ... -
Mycotoxin problem in Africa: Current status, implications to food safety and health and possible management strategies
(2008)Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites of fungal origin and contaminate agricultural commodities before or under post-harvest conditions. They are mainly produced by fungi in the Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium ... -
Head blight of wheat in Kenya and contamination of grain with mycotoxin producing Fusarium species
(2008)The study was carried out during the 2006 cropping season in Nakuru district, Kenya. Incidence and severity of head blight were determined and pathogens isolated from diseased wheat heads, wheat and maize kernels. Mycotoxin ... -
Management of Fusarium head blight of wheat and deoxynivalenol accumulation using antagonistic microorganisms
(2008)Laboratory and green house studies were conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Nairobi, to evaluate the efficacy of Epicoccum sp., Alternaria sp., Trichoderma sp. and Bacillus sp. in control of Fusarium ... -
Diversity in Mycotoxins and fungal species infecting wheat in Nakuru District, Kenya
(2010)Mycotoxin contamination of wheat kernels and diversity of fungal pathogens were monitored in a survey of 26 fields in Nakuru district, Kenya, in 2006. Sampling was performed twice; at mid-anthesis in July for leaves, stems ... -
