Item KARI/DFID NARP II - Crop Protection Technical Report, May to October 1999(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1999) Farrel, G.; Kibata, G.N.; Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThis eighth and last Technical Report gives details of experimental work, supported by the Crop Protection program of KARI/DFID NARP II. The report covers the extension, or interim, period from May to October 1999. On-farm investigations were done by KARI scientists, organised in multidisciplinary teams and based at the regional centres of Muguga, Katumani and Njoro. Farmers and extension workers from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock Development and Marketing were active partners in the on-farm work. Work reported here is largely a continuation of efforts begun in 1995, though methodologies have been markedly changed to take account of farmers' inputs in technology generation and adaptation. Details of setting up of trials were given in previous Technical Reports. On-going work is usually split into distinct experiments that are completed after every rainy season, and so results can be presented annually for every experiment. Staff at the National Agricultural Research Laboratories (NARL) in Nairobi worked on strategic problems facing Kenyan agriculture. Much of the work is in response to requests from the on-farm teams at the regional centres, for resources and expertise to meet knowledge gaps.Item KARI/ODA - Crop Protection Project: (Second Draft): Summary Review of Crop Protection Research in Kenya, 1994(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 1994) Kenya Agricultural Research Institute; Sutherland. J.A.; Kibata, G.N.; Kenya Agricultural Research InstituteThis document is the second draft of an attempt to bring together in summary form, all the crop protection work done in Kenya, and to some extent East Africa; it is still far from complete. The aim is to have a document that research officers can refer to when planning research programmes, one that will reduce the repetition of effort and help optimise the use of scarce resources. One of the objectives of this Workshop/Seminar is to develop this document and later on circulate it among colleagues and have suggestions, additions and corrections. They may be sent in any form convenient. The team is aiming to have the final version completed by 30th April 1994 and would therefore like all amendments and additions to reach the office by the end of March at the latest.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 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 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. 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.
