Crop production Handbook for wheat,Oilcrops and Horticulture

Abstract

The goal of KARI's research on wheat and oil crops is to increase the productivity of these crops and thereby to boost production at the farm level. The Crop production recommendations contained in this hand book are derived from results of experiments carried out by research scientists at KARI-Njoro over the years. The research work was carried out on-station and/or on-farm. In all cases, the most appropriate and effective research method was followed .Variety recommendations are made both from research finamgs on agronomic performance in the appropriate agro-ecological zones as well as feed back from farmers and other stakeholders, and consideration has been placed on the varied demand for all those who influence wheat and oil crop production in Kenya.
