Effect of Plant Population on Yield of Selected Maize (Zea mays L.) Varieties in Mwea and Bura in Kenya

Daudi Dindi Aleri, Josiah M. Kinama & George N. Chemining’wa · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2021

The objective of the study was to determine the effect of plant population on the growth and yield of maize. The study was conducted during the short rainy season of December 2018 and April 2019 in Mwea, Kirinyaga County and Bura, Tana River County, in Kenya. An experiment was se...

Green Gram-sorghum Intercropping: Effects on Crop Microclimate, Competition, Resource Use Efficiency and Yield in Southeastern, Kenya

Bernard M. Yumbya, Onesmus M. Kitonyo & Josiah M. Kinama · International Journal of Environment and Climate Change · 2024

A better understanding of cereal-legume interactions could improve the implementation of intercrop systems for cropping intensification. These interactions affect crop microclimates and the efficiency of utilizing growth resources such as water and nitrogen. In this study, four m...

Influence of Green Gram (Vigna radiata L.) Varieties on Growth and Yield Attributes in Dry Ecological Zones of Kenya

Stellamaris N. Mulika, George N. Chemining’wa & Josiah M. Kinama · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2019

Production and productivity of green gram is governed by environmental, genotypic trait of the crop and crop management. The more specific reason for low production and productivity of pulses is the cultivation of local old varieties under marginally fertile lands and low input m...

Grain Morphological Traits Confer Tolerance to Bruchid (Callosobruchus maculatus) Infestation of Stored Green Gram (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek)

Stephen K. Kung`ala, Onesmus M. Kitonyo, Dora C. Kilalo & Josiah M. Kinama · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2026

Post-harvest losses due to bruchid (Callosobruchus maculatus) infestation in green gram production remain a challenge. The relative tolerance to bruchid infestation of five green gram (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) varieties was evaluated under ambient conditions in a laboratory. The...
