Land cover plays an important role in controlling spatial and temporal variations of soil moisture globally by influencing infiltration rates, runoff and evapotranspiration. Which is important to crop growth, vegetation ...

Embu County has a range of climates ranging from wet and cool in the northern portions that traverse up Mount Kenya to relatively warm and dry in the central and southern parts of the County. Due to this gradient in ...

Soil moisture is a key variable in controlling the exchange of water and heat energy between the land surface and atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration. It is a critical hydrological component in various water ...

Lipids are hydrophobic non polar and made up of hydrocarbon chains. Lipid degrading bacteria are able to completely remove lipids in waste water by use of lipase enzyme. Other microorganisms such as yeast, bacteria and ...

Water is a very important resource and therefore its quality should be monitored to ensure it is not contaminated. Water can be polluted by plastic material, chemical effluences and fecal matter. Fecal contamination from ...

Garlic is known to have numerous beneficial effects for human health. However, little information is known on its mechanism of controlling microorganisms that cause human epidemics. This study aims at evaluating the use ...

Soil pH is a very influential variable in soil. The degree of acidity and alkalinity of soil determines the type and number of soil organisms present in the soil. Presence of soil organisms is important because it improves ...

Conservation of soil moisture content in Kenya requires improvement of agricultural practices which translates to improvement of yield per unit area of land. Besides poor soil nutrients status, water is a limiting factor ...
