Effects of ethephon and potassium nitrate on off-season flower induction in mango
(2014)
Mango (Mangifera indica) fruit production in Kenya is seasonal with peak and off seasons
– one of the contributing factors to postharvest losses. Off-season flower induction is a
strategy that can be used to address mango ...
Effects of early and late harvest on agronomic performance and stability of late blight resistant (R-gene Free) Potato genotypes
(Korean Society of Crop Science and Springer., 2014-06-01)
Late blight is an important constraint to potato production and genotype resistance is an effective disease control mesure. Ten late
blight resistant potato genotypes (R-gene free) were assessed for yield performance and ...
Some Irreducible 2-Modular Codes invariant Under The Symplectic Group S6(2)
(GLASNIK MATEMATIˇ CKI, 2014-01-01)
We examine all non-trivial binary codes and designs obtained from the 2-modular primitive permutation representations of degrees up to 135 of the simple projective special symplectic group S6(2). The submodule lattice of ...
Distribution of spectrum in a direct sum decomposition of operators into normal and completely non-normal parts
(Modern Scientific press : IJMMS, 2014-01-01)
We discuss the distribution of spectra of a direct sum decomposition of an arbitrary operator into normal and completely non normal parts. We utilize the fact that any given operator 𝑇∈𝐵(𝐻) can be decomposed into a ...
Pattern of origin of anterior inferior cerebellar artery in a black Kenyan population
(2014-09-02)
Background: Pattern of origin of anterior inferior artery is important in interpretation of posterior circulatory stroke
and during posterior cranial fossa surgery for aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, tumors, ...
Efficacy of activebag® packaging on postharvest quality of purple passion fruit (passiflora edulis Sims)
(2014-08-17)
Water loss after harvest results in wilting and shrivelling and is one of the major causes of postharvest losses in perishables. Passion fruit is susceptible to rapid water loss after harvest leading to diminished quality ...
Comparison of quality attributes of mango fruits produced from two contrasting agro-ecological zones of Kenya
(Ruforum, 2014)
Mango (Mangifera indica) is a tropical fruit adapted to a wide range of agro-ecological
conditions. In Kenya, mango fruits are produced across various agro-ecological zones (AEZs);
from sub-humid to semi-arid. The diverse ...
A comparative evaluation of maturity indices of mango fruits produced in two contrasting agro-ecological zones of Kenya
(Ruforum, 2014)
Harvesting mango (Mangifera indica) fruits at the right stage for the destination market
and use requires reliable maturity indices. There are various indices that are used to determine
harvest maturity for mango fruits. ...
Modeling potential impact of climate change on sorghum and cowpea performance under different tillage and cropping systems in semi-arid areas of Kenya
(Ruforum, 2014)
Field trials were carried out at Kambi ya Mawe location in Eastern Kenya during the long rains
(LRS) of 2010 and short rains (SRS) of 2010/2011, to evaluate effect of tillage and cropping
system on performance of sorghum ...
Evaluation of multiplex PCR in detection of crop alleles and differential hybridization among weedy sorghum populations.
(Asian network for scientific information, 2014)
Utility of the PCR methodology in detection of crop alleles in weedy species has the potential for improvement through techniques that improve efficiency and minimize the cost and time required. This study evaluated the ...
