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 ... -
Identification and nutritional importance of indigenous green leaf vegetables in Kenya.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1985)Species identified include Amaranthus hybridus [cruentus], Crotalaria brevidens, Solanum nigrum, Gynandropsis gynandra and Erucastrum arabicum. They normally grow wild in most parts of Kenya and the leaves are used as ... -
Contents of nitrate-N and thiocyanate ions in kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala DC) leaves from kale-growing areas in Kenya.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1988)The leaves were sampled in Nov. 1984 and Mar. 1985 from the Kisii, Kericho, Nakuru, Nyahururu, Naivasha, Limuru, Karatina and Kibwezi areas. The results indicated significant differences in nitrate-N contents and thiocyanate ... -
Effect of nitrogen on thiocyanate content of Brassica oleracea var. acephala leaves.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1990)In a field experiment in 1985/86 at the Kabele Field Station (alt. 1940 m a.s.l) B. oleracea var. acephala cultivars Thousand Headed (kale) and Georgia (collard) received 0, 47, 94 or 188 kg N/ha. Petiole and, more ... -
Genetic enhancement of indigenous vegetables in Kenya.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1995)Indigenous vegetables form a substantial proportion of the diets of most low- and middle-class Kenyans. For rural Kenyans, the vegetables are inexpensive, easily accessible and excellent sources of micronutrients. Sale of ... -
The effect of lime levels on the growth of beans and maize and nodulation of beans in three tropical acid soils.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1984)The soils used in the greenhouse trial ranged from 4.2 to 5.0 in pH, 1.74 to 4.56 in percentage C, 21 to 32 meq/100 g in CEC, 5.1 to 8.1 meq/100 g in exchange acidity, 0.6 to 3.2 meq/100 g in exchangeable Al and 0.13 to ... -
Fertility of soils of tropical Africa: a historical perspective.
(Univeristy of Nairobi, 1986)This is discussed under the following headings: parent materials and inherent fertility; climate, vegetation and their effects on soil OM accumulation; soil fertility and its management; and current soil fertility problems ... -
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. ... -

(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 ... -
