Review of Kenyan Agricultural Research Vol. 32

Abstract

These reviews have been produced as part of the Kenya Agricultural Research Database Project which was funded by the Netherlands government over the years 1992 to 1995. The aim of the project was to document all investigations and research related to agriculture in Kenya undertaken since the end of the last century, especially those items which had not been published. The computerised database now contains around 40,000 records, most of which contain abstracts or summaries, full bibliographic details, and information about where the documents can be found. We are conscious however, that many items have not been included, especially the earlier material and many consultancy reports produced by foreign and international donor, development, and research organizations. Specialists who read the reviews nay be aware of important topics which have been omitted by the reviewer. If this is the case, we would ask that both the reviewer and KARI's Library and Information Services be informed so that the topic can be included in future revisions. Constant up-date will be required as new research information becomes available with the National Agricultural Research System in Kenya
