Item Crop Protection Technical Report(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), February 1999) Farrell, G.; Kibata, G. N.; Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThis sixth Annual Technical Report gives details of experimental work supported by the Crop Protection program of KARIDFID NARP II. The report covers the period from October 1997 to September 1998.Item Crop Protection Technical Report October 1996 to September 1997(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1997) Farrell, G.; Kibata, G. N.; Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThis fifth Technical Report gives details of experimental work supported by the Crop Protection programme of KARI/DFID NARP II. The report covers the period October 1996 to September 1997.Item KARI/ODA Crop Protection Project Technical Report IV, June 1994 to March 1995(Kenya agricultural Research Institute, 1994/1995) Kenya Agricultural Research Institute-ODA Project; Farrell, G. ; Kibata, G.N.; Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThis fourth Technical Report gives details of experimental work supported in whole or in part by the KARI/ODA Crop Protection Project. The report covers the period July 1994 to March 1995, when the Project under the first phase of the National Agricultural Research Project (NARP I) came to an end. However, some of the work described here (such as pesticide residue analysis and PhD research) will continue under the second phase of NARP.Item KARI/ODA crop protection project: Technical Report-III July 1993 to June 1994(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1994) Sutherland, J.A.; Kibata, G.N.; Farrell, G.; Kenya Agricultural Research Institute; KARI; ODA; KARI; ODAUntil recently the maize programme has focused on plant breeding, and this in turn has been concentrated on the development of high yield varieties. Consideration of crop protection issues, specifically disease problems, has not been thought of as a high priority by breeders. As a result high yielding varieties have been produced, which are susceptible, to a greater or lesser extent, to a range of diseases. This deficiency is now being actively addressed by KARl's breeders, but there is a lack of quantified data on disease incidence, severity and distribution. This information is essential if the correct ranking of disease importance and significance is to be considered by breeders in their development programmes.Item KARI/ODA NARP II Crop Protection Project Annual Report 1 April 1995 to March 1996(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1996) Farrell, G.; Kenya Agricultural Research Institute; Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThis is the first annual report of the KARI/ODA Crop Protection Project under the second phase of the National Agricultural Research Programme (NARP II) in Kenya. It covers the period 1 April 1995 to 31 March 1996.Item KARI/ODA NARP II Crop Protection Project Quaterly Report 3, Oct-Dec 1995(Ministry Of Agriculture, 1996) KARI-ODA; Farrell, G.; Kedera, C.J.; Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThis is the Third Quarterly Report of the KARI/ODA Crop Protection Project under the second phase of the National Agricultural Research Programme (NARP II) in Kenya. It covers the period 1 October to 31 December 1995. Project work under NARP II concentrates on the production and extension of farmer usable research, mainly through an adaptive on-farm approach. Programmes are based at KARI regional centres at Njoro National Plant Breeding Research Centre, Katumani National Dryland Farming Research Centre and Muguga National Agricultural Research Centre. Project components addressing existing and future strategic threats to Kenyan agriculture will be based at the National Agricultural Research Laboratories (NARL), Nairobi.Item KARI/ODA NARP II Crop Protection Technical Report I, April 1995 to September 1996(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1996) Farrell, G.; Kibata, G. N.; Kenya Agricultural Research Institute; Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThis is the first Technical Report of crop protection activities under the KARI/ODA National Agricultura Research Project, phase II. Details of experimental work supported in whole or in part by KARI/ODA NARP II are described. The project began on 1 April 1996 and has three outputs: Output 1. Appropriate technologies identified, developed and validated Output 2. Improved institutional capacity Output 3. New and existing technologies packaged and supplied for uptake. This report covers the period | April 1995 to 30 September 1996 describes technical work in crop protection relating to Output 1 (activities at NARL and regional Centres) and output 2 (work of the PhD Study Fellows which contributes to institutional strengthening). Strategic research is done at NARL and on-farm adaptive work at the Regional Centres of Katumani, Muguga and Njoro.Item KARI/ODA/NARP II crop protection project Quarterly Report 5 April to June 1996(Ministry of Agriculture, 1996) Farrell, G.This is the fifth quarterly report of the KARl/aDA Crop Protection Project under the second phase of the National Agricultural Research Programme (NARP II) in Kenya. It covers the period 1 April to 30 June 1996.Item Kenya Agricultural Research Institute Narp II Technical Report, October 1998 to April 1999(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1999) Farrell, G.; Kibata, G.N.; Kenya Agricultural Research Institute; Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThis seventh Technical Report gives details of experimental work supported by the Crop Protection programme of KARI/DFID NARP II. The report covers the period October 1998 to April 1999. Previous reports recorded activities over a twelve month period, but this issue covers just seven months, ie from the date of the last report up to the end of DFID input into NARP II, which came to an end on 30 April 1999.Item A Review of Crop Protection Research in Kenya, KARI/ODA Crop Protection Project, 1995(Kenya Agricultural Reserch Institute, 1995) Kenya Agricultural Reserch Institute; Farrell, G.; Kibata. G.N.; Sutherland. J.A.; Kenya Agricultural Reserch InstituteCrop protection research has been conducted and documented in Kenya since the turn of the century, but much of it has not been readily accessible. Every Kenyan research station since at least 1907 has published annual reports. The purpose of this review is to provide an entry to these reports, as well as to papers in refereed journals, on crop protection topics of concern to smallholder agriculture. University theses and conference proceedings are also listed where appropriate. The bibliography contains over 900 references. Major items in the 'grey' literature have been abstracted, but not all annual reports could be examined. Some Kenyan research centres have commodity mandates (for example wheat and barley at Njoro, root and tuber crops at Tigoni and cotton and sugar at Kibos) and so the reader is advised to consult reports from the relevant centres if an in-depth investigation is necessary. The review covers all crop protection topics concerned with pest and disease incidence, though migratory pests such as armyworm, locusts and birds are excluded, as are problems on the beverage crops (tea and coffee). The emphasis is on in-country research relevant to smallholder plantings of vegetable and other food crops in Kenya. The document is arranged in three sections; pre-harvest (including pesticide analysis and residues), post-harvest (mainly storage of durable products) and a short chapter on socio-economic aspects.Item A review of crop protection in Kenya.(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1995) Farrell, G.; Kibata, G.N.; Sutherland, J.A.; Kenya Agricultural Research Institute; KARI; ODACrop protection research has been conducted and documented in Kenya since the turn of the century, but much of it has not been readily accessible.
