Adoption of improved maize technology in Eastern Kenya following a community based farmer training project. Maize Productivity Gains through Research and Technology Dissemination

Nguluu, Simon N.; Ransom, J. K.; Ariithi, C. C. K.; Muhammad, L. (1996-06)

A survey was conducted in March 1993 in Mtito Andei Location in semi-arid eastern Kenya to capture information on farmers' adoption of technology, their reaction to the improved maize seed and other technology demonstrated ...
Genetic biodiversity assessment and local seed systems of maize landraces among smallholder farmers in Western Kenya

Muasya, Reuben M.; Anjichi, V. E.; Gohole, L. S.; Rao, N. K.; Muui, C. W. (African Crop Science Society, 2005)

Maize is the main staple food in Kenya and adoption rates for improved varieties is high. Smallholder farmers grow over 75% of the maize crop in Kenya. Breeders consider that some local varieties hold potential value for ...
In vitro Regeneration by Indirect Organogenesis of Selected Kenyan Maize Genotypes using Shoot Apices

Muluvi, Geoffrey M.; Muoma, J.; Machuka, J. (Asian Network for Scientific Information (ANSINET), 2008)

The study reports a reliable and reproducible regeneration system of two open pollinated varieties-OPV`s (Katumani KAT and dry land cultivar DLC1), a hybrid (DH01) and an inbred line (TL08) using shoot apices as explants ...
Microsatellite analysis of the correlation between molecular and morphological traits in assorted maize inbred lines

Kimatu, Josphert N.; Karanja, J.; Amugune, N. O.; Ininda, J.; Danson, J. W. (2009)

The success in identifying heterosis in hybrid maize (Zea mays L.) breeding depends on the availability of reliable genetic diversity among maize inbred lines. Conventional methods of breeding have been boosted by the ...
