Effects Of Acidulated Rock Phosphate On Growth And Yield Performance Of Selected Leafy Vegetables In Kiambu County

ABSTRACT African leafy vegetables are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and foliate among others. They are also a complementing source of other vitamins such as thiamine, niacin and riboflavin, plus some dietary minerals including calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese. Decline in crop yields is mainly caused by loss of soil fertility. Phosphorus (P) is one of the critical elements that limit vegetable production. The situation is aggravated in smallholder agriculture where...

Review on effect of Nitrogen and Phosphorous application on seed yield and nutrient uptake of onion (Allium cepa L.)

Onion is a herbaceous biennial monocot cultivated as an annual crop. The number of flowers opening oneach day was influenced by hours of sunlight and concentration of phosphorous (P) and nitrogen (N). Nand P treatments tended to lower bolting percentages. The yield of onion seed per plant increased as thenitrogen in the nutrient solution increased where seed stalks were produced. The effect of early dressingsof N on crops grown under conditions when nights are becoming cooler is shown to allo...

Review on: Effect of seed storage period and storage environment on seed quality

Seed quality deterioration is inevitable process. Since seed is a vital input in agriculture which determines not justthe production but also the productivity, it is crucial to maintain the seed quality as well as seed vigor during the storage. Storageis a basic practice in the control of the physiological quality of the seed and is a method through which the viability of the seedscan be preserved and their vigor kept at a reasonable level during the time between planting and harvesting. Many...
