Farmer management practices of citrus insect pests in Kenya
(Afr. J. Hort. Sci, 2009)
A formal citrus insect pest survey was conducted in two citrus growing districts of Kenya, Bungoma and Machakos, to determine important insect pests of citrus and evaluate the pest control practices ...
Effect of levels and timing of application of gibberellic acid on growth and yield components of common beans
(African Crop Science Society, 2003-09-15)
This study was conducted to determine the effect of levels and timing of application of gibberellic acid (GA3) on growth and yield components of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Experiments were conducted at the Field ...
Effects of ethephon on the growth, yield and yield components of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
(JKUAT, 2003)
Two experiments to determine the effects of timing and levels of application of ethephon on the growth and yield of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L). were conducted. Bean cultivar \'Mwezi moja\' was used. Four levels of ...
On summing multipliers and applications
(Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2001-01-01)
A scalar sequence (αi) is said to be a p-summing multiplier of a Banach space E, if ∑∞i = 1‖αixi‖p < ∞ for all weakly p-summable sequences in E. We study some important properties of the space mp(E) of all p-summing ...
Effect of soil pH on postharvest pathological deterioration of sweet potato storage roots
(Horticultural Association of Kenya, 2008)
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is the world’s seventh most important food crop but its potential to contribute to food security and income generation is limited in tropical developing countries by its short ...
Spaces of compact operators and their dual spaces
(Springer-Link, 2004-01-13)
Theω′-topology on the spaceL(X, Y) of bounded linear operators from the Banach spaceX into the Banach spaceY is discussed in [10]. Let ℒw' (X, Y) denote the space of allT∈L(X, Y) for which there exists a sequence of compact ...
On convergence of sections of sequences in Banach spaces
(Springer-Verlag, 2000-02-01)
An elementary proof of the (known) fact that each element of the Banach spaceℓ w p (X) of weakly absolutelyp-summable sequences (if 1≤p<∞) in the Banach spaceX is the norm limit of its sections if and only if each element ...
Effect of packaging materials on weight loss and nutrient quality changes of rechanded sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas Poir) during short-term storage
(2004)
The effects of packaging materials on weight loss and nutrient quality changes of recharged submerged in clean tap water) sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas Poir) roots during storage were determined. Sweet potatoes from two ...
Management of aphids and aphid-transmitted viruses in stored seed potatoes in Kenya
(2008-08)
This study was carried out in two storage seasons viz. May to August 2002 and November 2002 to February
2003 to determine effectiveness of insecticides (bifenthrin, dimethoate, mineral oil, pirimiphos-methyl plus
permethrin) ...
The canon of potato science: 35. seed and ware potato storage.
(Orgz, 2007)
Potatoes will sustain losses during their post-harvest life as they are living organisms with an active metabolism. Depending on storage conditions potato tubers will – to a lesser or greater extent – respire and transpire ...
