Energy considerations in groundwater-ridging mechanism ofstreamflow generation
(Hydrological Processes, 2015)Groundwater ridging is the rapid rise of a shallow water table during a rainfall event, in an environment where, in the pre-event period, the capillary fringe extends to the ground surface. Groundwater ridging is widely ... -
Enhanced hexazinone degradation by a Bacillus species and Staphylococcus species isolated from pineapple and sugarcane cultivated soils in Kenya
(Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology, 2022)In this work, hexazinone-degrading bacterial strains from Kenyan tropical soils with long term application history were isolated and identified. Non-sterile soils from sugarcane and pineapple cultivated fields with over ... -
Enhancing household food and income securitythrough crop diversification in the Nzoia and Mumiassugarbelts in Kenya
(FACT Limited, 2009)Objective: Competition for land use among crops in the Nzoia and Mumias sugar belts hastened to favour sugarcane and maize at the expense of indigenous food crops such as onions, tomatoes, cassava and sweet ... -
Enhancing production through optimisation of DPPH and radical scavenging activity of grape seed extracts
(African Crop Science Society (Uganda), 2014)Polyphenols are important for their pharmacological activity and positive contribution to cellular processes within the body. They have the capacity to protect against oxidation of High Density Lipids (HDL) and, thus help ... -
