Agrobiodiversity conservation enhances food security in subsistence-based farming systems of Eastern Kenya

Mburu, Simon W.; Koskey, Gilbert; Kimiti, Jacinta M.; Ombori, Omwoyo; Maingi, John M.; Njeru, Ezekiel M. (BioMed Central, 2016)

Background: Globally, there is great concern about expanding agricultural activities due to their impact in the conservation of agrobiodiversity. African continent is known for its richness in biodiversity. In Kenya, there ...
Banana production trends, cultivar diversity, and tissue culture technologies uptake in Kenya

Wahome, Caroline N.; Maingi, John M.; Ombori, Omwoyo; Kimiti, Jacinta M.; Njeru, Ezekiel M. (Hindawi, 2021-02)

Banana (Musa acuminate L) is the world’s most widely known and distributed fruit and is a great contributor to food security in the developing world. However, many limiting factors affect banana farming, which cut across ...
Diferential response of promiscuous soybean to local diversity of indigenous and commercial bradyrhizobium inoculation under contrasting agroclimatic zones

Mburu, Simon W.; Koskey, Gilbert; Njeru, Ezekiel M.; Ombori, Omwoyo; Maingi, John M.; Kimiti, Jacinta M. (Springer Nature, 2020-10)

Promiscuous soybeans are grain legumes that nodulate with diverse strains of indigenous Bradyrhizobium and play a significant role in biological nitrogen fixation through symbiosis. However, experiments on the potential ...
Diversity and abundance of bacterial and fungal communities in rhizospheric soil from smallholder banana producing agroecosystems in Kenya

Wahome, Caroline N.; Maingi, John M.; Ombori, Omwoyo; Njeru, Ezekiel M.; Muthini, Morris; Kimiti, Jacinta M. (Frontiers Media, 2023-02)

In agroecosystems, microbial communities play a crucial role in delivery of various ecosystem services. These microbial communities are affected by several factors such as soil physicochemical properties which contribute ...
Genetic characterization and diversity of Rhizobium isolated from root nodules of mid-altitude climbing bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties

Koskey, Gilbert; Simon, Mburu W.; Kimiti, Jacinta M.; Ombori, Omwoyo; Maingi, John M.; Njeru, Ezekiel M. (Frontiers Media, 2018)

The increasing interest in the use of rhizobia as biofertilizers in smallholder agricultural farming systems of the Sub-Saharan Africa has prompted the identification of a large number of tropical rhizobia strains and led ...
Potential of Native Rhizobia in Enhancing Nitrogen Fixation and Yields of Climbing Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Contrasting Environments of Eastern Kenya

Koskey, Gilbert; Mburu, Simon W.; Njeru, Ezekiel M.; Kimiti, Jacinta M.; Ombori, Omwoyo; Maingi, John M. (Frontiers Media, 2017-03)

Climbing bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in Kenya is greatly undermined by low soil fertility, especially in agriculturally prolific areas. The use of effective native rhizobia inoculants to promote nitrogen ...
