Evaluation of Agronomic Performance of Green Gram Accessions Grown under Reduced Light Intensity in the Arid and Semi-Arid Areas of Kenya

M. K. Masaku, S. M. Githiri, C. M. Onyango & P. W. Masinde · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2018

Green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) is the hardiest of all pulses and is well adapted to Arid and Semi-Arid Areas (ASALs). However, the high light intensities, temperatures and erratic rainfall experienced in these areas lead to high evapo-transpiration rates leaving very little water...
