In Kenya there are many local varieties widely grown across the counties as indigenous vegetable for its important contribution to diet by supplying high nutrients and medicinal value. The rich genetic variation in the many land races found locally has so far hardly been exploited nor characterized, leaving ample room for development of improved varieties or accessions. The objective was to do characterization of Mrenda morphotypes.

Five fertilizer formulations were tested for their efficacy in improving barley yield under acid soils. The objective was to determine the effect of fertilizer formulations on barley growth under acidic soils. One variety of barley was planted in two sites using five formulations for two seasons. Control plot had no fertilizer and randomized complete block design with four replications was used. Data on tillering ability, number of grains/ear, plant height and yield were subjected analysis of variance and means separated by contrast comparison on Genstat version 12.2.

Farmers usually harvest the fruits of pumpkin for food then use the extracted seed at the time of planting. Yet the fruit at harvest may not coincide with the seed quality. This causes the mixture of mature and immature seeds at harvest hence causing poor seed quality. Aim: This study was done to examine the influence of harvesting stage-Days After Anthesis-(DAA) and different sites of the North-rift of Kenya, on seed quality aspects of pumpkin. Methodology: Two types of pumpkin seeds, from round fruit and oval fruit, were planted in the rainfall season of 2015. Four harvesting stages (30 DAA, 40 DAA, 50 DAA and 60 DAA) were done on the two pumpkin types at three sites (AIC Cheptebo, Kaiboi Technical Training Institute-KTTI and University of Eldoret-UOE). The seeds were then extracted and seed testing was done on germination and seed vigor. Results: The seeds from fruits harvested at 60 DAA showed higher seed weight, germination and vigor compared to those from fruits harvested at an earlier stage of 30 DAA.

These toxins are produced by fungi and once incorporated in the substrate, are not easy to eradicate. They are associated with morbidity and mortality in both livestock and humans. Avoiding contamination is the preferred way of mitigating mycotoxins in livestock feeds and cereals. Study Design: A purposive multiple-stage survey design was used in this study. Place and Duration of Study: Between February and March 2016 to assess factors that exacerbate mycotoxins due to feed type and handling practice by smallholder farmers in farmer groups keeping indigenous chicken in Western Kenya.

plant cane (PC), first ratoon (FR), and second ratoon (SR) crops during 2011/2013 harvesting seasons. A randomized complete block design with three replicates was used. Results indicated that the evaluated genotypes varied significantly (P = 0.05) within and among crop cycles for stalk length, stalk diameter, stalk density, stalk weight, stalks number, cane yield, Brix, sucrose%, purity%, sugar recovery, and sugar yield. The evaluated genotypes differed significantly in their ratooning ability (RA) for all studied traits. Over evaluated genotypes, means of stalk diameter, stalk weight, stalk density and cane yield in plant cane were higher than those in the first and second ratoon crops, while means of Brix, sucrose, purity and sugar recovery percentages in the second ratoon were higher than those in plant cane and first ratoon crops. The relative influence of genotypic variance ( 2 g) in determining the phenotypic variance was primary to genotype by crop interaction variance ( 2 gc) and error variance ( 2 e) for all studied traits. Broad sense heritability (H%) estimates were high for cane yield and its components as well as sugar yield, since it ranged from 82.53 for cane yield to 95.06 for stalk length. High genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) estimates were for stalk weight (27.01), stalk density (39.36) and stalk number (32.57), while low estimates were for stalk length and juice quality traits (2.05 ≤ GCV% ≥ 7.99). Genotypic variance ( 2 g) was primary to error variance ( 2 e) for RA of cane yield and its components as well as sugar yield and juice quality traits. The highest heritability estimates of RA were for stalk weight (98.10%), stalk density (98.24%), stalk number (99.46%) and sugar yield with high genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) estimates for the same traits (22.78, 32.26, 36.41 and 27.26, respectively).","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2015,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":81472851},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/72612943/Journal_of_Plant_Breeding_and_Crop","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-02-28T09:36:20.396-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":63910975,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":81472851,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/81472851/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"AF3453E54786.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/81472851/download_file?st=MTczMjUzMzgwNSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Journal_of_Plant_Breeding_and_Crop.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/81472851/AF3453E54786-libre.pdf?1646070469=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DJournal_of_Plant_Breeding_and_Crop.pdf\u0026Expires=1732537405\u0026Signature=FE-wdDLLzfYyRbm0foBBmJhKXE07unYkri6Eow~HP6u9BKy0rXkUIGylCWKr26JOaoTiqurZsz5ry0Djfw9rz-e8ff3yL2ZDea0YoCC2BCVFjgw5U0a3S5fU7OymeKd3b0BKBd3IQMEjkWwi3O7SdV4YoqYP2J8jh-02CHRyBOCOtCg4CkW-KHxiSEZ-ZaxBssmm0k3~UK6G28zjEG4ngt5w8z81RyhXnAUOc9hdHOcuG0ZRyA3RLCzh9~JyxiF3zLeHaDwXKbyCtbyHokEy79NLD1dQJnrrgiHSkkMEmpKtoDRH58TacbdakMBNoimb5pbTbOLaS1-fOUXYp~O4xQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Journal_of_Plant_Breeding_and_Crop","translated_slug":"","page_count":13,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":63910975,"first_name":"J.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Ochuodho","page_name":"JOchuodho","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2017-05-05T09:51:47.952-07:00","display_name":"J.

In the present study, the biocontrol activity of Paenibacillus polymyxa KaI245 was evaluated against Drechsclera teres f. sp teres and Rhynchosporium commune causing net-form-net-blotch and scald respectively. In-vitro efficacy of the bacterial isolate entailed dual culture technique, use of cell-free supernatant and test for volatile-compounds-mediated inhibition. Greenhouse studies were further conducted to evaluate the efficacy of crude bacterial extracts against net-blotch pathogen in barley plants.

Jute mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) pods do not ripen simultaneously and fruits left to dry on mother plant long before harvesting, which face seed quality deterioration. Timely seed harvesting ensures maximum seed quality attributes of purity, germination and vigour. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of harvesting stages and nitrogen fertilizer on seed quality and yield of Jute mallow. Seed samples from four Jute mallow morphotypes (GEMS, GLMT, BEMS, and BLMT) were planted.

Potato breeding requires genetic variation of useful traits for crop improvement. The use of induced mutations is highly effective in enhancing genetic variability. The objectives of the study were to determine dose of mutagen and effects of induced mutation on morphological traits in potato. The study involved potato clones; Kenya Sherekea, Kenya Mpya and Asante (M1V0) improved varieties as parents.

The experiment was a split plot arrangement with two wheat varieties as the main plots and the lime treatments as the subplots. The two varieties compared were 'Njoro BW 2' and 'KS Mwamba' characterized as tolerant and moderate tolerant to soil acidity, respectively. Phosphorus and nitrogen were applied as a blanket treatment at the rates of 40 kg P 2 0 5 /ha and 46 kg N/ha respectively. Lime was applied at the rates of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 t/ha.

Farmers usually harvest the fruits of pumpkin for food then use the extracted seed at the time of planting. Yet the fruit at harvest may not coincide with the seed quality. This causes the mixture of mature and immature seeds at harvest hence causing poor seed quality. Aim: This study was done to examine the influence of harvesting stage-Days After Anthesis-(DAA) and different sites of the North-rift of Kenya, on seed quality aspects of pumpkin. Methodology: Two types of pumpkin seeds, from round fruit and oval fruit, were planted in the rainfall season of 2015. Four harvesting stages (30 DAA, 40 DAA, 50 DAA and 60 DAA) were done on the two pumpkin types at three sites (AIC Cheptebo, Kaiboi Technical Training Institute-KTTI and University of Eldoret-UOE). The seeds were then extracted and seed testing was done on germination and seed vigor. Results: The seeds from fruits harvested at 60 DAA showed higher seed weight, germination and vigor compared to those from fruits harvested at an earlier stage of 30 DAA.

plant cane (PC), first ratoon (FR), and second ratoon (SR) crops during 2011/2013 harvesting seasons. A randomized complete block design with three replicates was used. Results indicated that the evaluated genotypes varied significantly (P = 0.05) within and among crop cycles for stalk length, stalk diameter, stalk density, stalk weight, stalks number, cane yield, Brix, sucrose%, purity%, sugar recovery, and sugar yield. The evaluated genotypes differed significantly in their ratooning ability (RA) for all studied traits. Over evaluated genotypes, means of stalk diameter, stalk weight, stalk density and cane yield in plant cane were higher than those in the first and second ratoon crops, while means of Brix, sucrose, purity and sugar recovery percentages in the second ratoon were higher than those in plant cane and first ratoon crops. The relative influence of genotypic variance ( 2 g) in determining the phenotypic variance was primary to genotype by crop interaction variance ( 2 gc) and error variance ( 2 e) for all studied traits. Broad sense heritability (H%) estimates were high for cane yield and its components as well as sugar yield, since it ranged from 82.53 for cane yield to 95.06 for stalk length. High genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) estimates were for stalk weight (27.01), stalk density (39.36) and stalk number (32.57), while low estimates were for stalk length and juice quality traits (2.05 ≤ GCV% ≥ 7.99). Genotypic variance ( 2 g) was primary to error variance ( 2 e) for RA of cane yield and its components as well as sugar yield and juice quality traits. The highest heritability estimates of RA were for stalk weight (98.10%), stalk density (98.24%), stalk number (99.46%) and sugar yield with high genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) estimates for the same traits (22.78, 32.26, 36.41 and 27.26, respectively).","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2015,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":81472851},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/72612943/Journal_of_Plant_Breeding_and_Crop","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-02-28T09:36:20.396-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":63910975,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":81472851,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/81472851/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"AF3453E54786.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/81472851/download_file?st=MTczMjUzMzgwNSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjUzMzgwNSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Journal_of_Plant_Breeding_and_Crop.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/81472851/AF3453E54786-libre.pdf?1646070469=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DJournal_of_Plant_Breeding_and_Crop.pdf\u0026Expires=1732537405\u0026Signature=FE-wdDLLzfYyRbm0foBBmJhKXE07unYkri6Eow~HP6u9BKy0rXkUIGylCWKr26JOaoTiqurZsz5ry0Djfw9rz-e8ff3yL2ZDea0YoCC2BCVFjgw5U0a3S5fU7OymeKd3b0BKBd3IQMEjkWwi3O7SdV4YoqYP2J8jh-02CHRyBOCOtCg4CkW-KHxiSEZ-ZaxBssmm0k3~UK6G28zjEG4ngt5w8z81RyhXnAUOc9hdHOcuG0ZRyA3RLCzh9~JyxiF3zLeHaDwXKbyCtbyHokEy79NLD1dQJnrrgiHSkkMEmpKtoDRH58TacbdakMBNoimb5pbTbOLaS1-fOUXYp~O4xQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Journal_of_Plant_Breeding_and_Crop","translated_slug":"","page_count":13,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":63910975,"first_name":"J.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Ochuodho","page_name":"JOchuodho","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2017-05-05T09:51:47.952-07:00","display_name":"J.

In dual culture technique, the mycelial growth of D. teres f. sp teres was impeded by approximately 47.3% while there was no any observable effect in R. commune colonies. Food-poison technique was u sed to test the antifungal activity of cell-free supernatant. The cell free supernatant inhibited the growth of D. teres by approximately 24.1%. R. commune colonies were impeded by 52.9% via volatile organic compounds while D. ...","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/71022107/Bio_Control_of_Net_Blotch_and_Scald_Pathogens_of_Barley_Using_Paenibacillus_Polymyxa_KAI245_Isolated_from_Sorghum_Rhizosphere_in_Western_Kenya","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-02-09T10:39:51.277-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":63910975,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":80537479,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/80537479/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"ajmr-7-1-5.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/80537479/download_file?st=MTczMjUzMzgwNSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjUzMzgwNSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Bio_Control_of_Net_Blotch_and_Scald_Path.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/80537479/ajmr-7-1-5-libre.pdf?1644433820=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DBio_Control_of_Net_Blotch_and_Scald_Path.pdf\u0026Expires=1732537405\u0026Signature=EgVDnP6YWJRax3BgaNLhp~lXFtedlOJBUGrdoarZMXsT9bkXHdNwue3VyoY9MjUIWRKWaTyd1PFumFXLMVxOjAZ8rKYzsFwYZKrQIsqSNSdEFKWeijtUBQ7NKK0YToj4ltKqtOgB~RhcLHcz8PuEjZEmL~mOVwMDrGdQeM0Dqz4SUWVmxWaI-3gP~Wuj4tr0wW4OoMyRIshH83j-wC7UWwcuXdrE9Z8Rxgw2npqjaPq36~RXfSHB6lEGdhppcbxwLnMyQ9dYX4nWo3i9PtnYqFKvDk0Jygh4Tow1F7KsvPtBpMFy6By-YoeN3zcaX-oY~w~tg0yZV0WRxhX5ldYA7g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Bio_Control_of_Net_Blotch_and_Scald_Pathogens_of_Barley_Using_Paenibacillus_Polymyxa_KAI245_Isolated_from_Sorghum_Rhizosphere_in_Western_Kenya","translated_slug":"","page_count":9,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":63910975,"first_name":"J.","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Ochuodho","page_name":"JOchuodho","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2017-05-05T09:51:47.952-07:00","display_name":"J.

Purposive selection of farmers was carried out based on indigenous chicken population (above 10 chicken per farmer), production systems and activeness of farmer groups. A multi-stage sampling was used involving: Counties sub Counties, Divisions/Wards, Locations and Farmer groups. From each group, five members completed a questionnaire.
