Kihara, JobMartius, ChristopherBationo, B. AndréThuita, Moses N.Lesueur, DidierHerrmann, LaetitiaVlek, Paul L.G.Amelung, Wulf[Soil aggregation and total diversity of bacteria and fungi in various Tillage systems of sub-humid and semi-arid Kenya]Soil aggregation and total diversity of bacteria and fungi in various Tillage systems of sub-humid and semi-arid Kenya

Low effectiveness of native strains remains a limitation to soybean productivity in sub-Saharan Africa; while in other countries commercial inoculants are produced that provide effective strains that stimulate N fixation and growth. An experiment was set up to evaluate the response of a dual purp...


Thuita, Moses N.Pypers, PieterHerrmann, LaetitiaOkalebo, Robert JohnOthieno, CalebMuema, EstherLesueur, Didier[Commercial rhizobial inoculants significantly enhance growth and nitrogen fixation of a promiscuous soybean variety in Kenyan soils]Commercial rhizobial inoculants significantly enhance growth and nitrogen fixation of a promiscuous soybean variety in Kenyan soils

Nitrogen (N) fixation through legume-Rhizobium symbiosis is important for enhancing agricultural productivity and is therefore of great economic interest. Growing evidence indicates that other soil beneficial bacteria can positively affect symbiotic performance of rhizobia. Nodule endophytic plan...


Korir, H.Mungai, N.W.Thuita, Moses N.Hamba, Y.Masso, C.[Co-inoculation effect of rhizobia and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on common bean growth in a low phosphorus soil]Co-inoculation effect of rhizobia and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on common bean growth in a low phosphorus soil

Use of inorganic fertilizer is an essential practice to optimize crop productivity in the poor fertility soils in sub-Saharan Africa, but it has been linked to high cost of crop production, contamination of surface and/or ground water by nitrate leaching and eutrophication of surface water by pho...


Mukhongo, Ruth WilhemTumuhairwe, J.B.Ebanyat, PeterAbdelGadir, AbdelAziz H.Thuita, Moses N.Masso, C.[Production and use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculum in sub-Saharan Africa: challenges and ways of improving]Production and use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculum in sub-Saharan Africa: challenges and ways of improving

Soybean grain yields in sub-Saharan Africa have remained at approximately 50% below those attained in South America despite numerous efforts. A study was conducted in Siaya County (western Kenya) involving 107 farms with soils of different fertility status. The main objective was to test combinat...


Thuita, Moses N.Vanlauwe, BernardMutegi, E.Masso, C.[Reducing spatial variability of soybean response to rhizobia inoculants in farms of variable soil fertility in Siaya County of western Kenya]Reducing spatial variability of soybean response to rhizobia inoculants in farms of variable soil fertility in Siaya County of western Kenya
Herselman, L.Chotte, Jean-LucThuita, Moses N.Lesueur, Didier[Effects of cropping systems, maize residues application and N fertilization on promiscuous soybean yields and diversity of native rhizobia in Central Kenya]Effects of cropping systems, maize residues application and N fertilization on promiscuous soybean yields and diversity of native rhizobia in Central Kenya

Cowpea N2 fixation and yield can be enhanced by selecting competitive and efficient indigenous rhizobia. Strains from contrasting agro-ecologies of Kilifi and Mbeere (Kenya) were screened. Two pot experiments were established consisting of 13 Bradyrhizobium strains; experiment 1 (11 Mbeere + CBA ...


Ndungu, S.M.Messmer, M.M.Ziegle, D.Thuita, Moses N.Vanlauwe, BernardFrossard, EmmanuelThonar, C.[Evaluation of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for the competitiveness analysis of selected indigenous cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) Bradyrhizobium strains from Kenya]Evaluation of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for the competitiveness analysis of selected indigenous cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) Bradyrhizobium strains from Kenya

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) is an important African food legume suitable for dry regions. It is the main legume in two contrasting agro-ecological regions of Kenya as an important component of crop rotations because of its relative tolerance to unpredictable drought events. This study was...


Ndungu, S.M.Messmer, M.M.Ziegler, D.Gamper, H.A.Mészáros, E.Thuita, Moses N.Vanlauwe, BernardFrossard, EmmanuelThonar, C.[Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) hosts several widespread bradyrhizobial root nodule symbionts across contrasting agro-ecological production areas in Kenya]Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) hosts several widespread bradyrhizobial root nodule symbionts across contrasting agro-ecological production areas in Kenya

Chickpea is the world’s third most important food legume next to bean and soybean. Ethiopia is the largest producer of chickpea in Africa. However, chickpea production is very low due to poor soil fertility, poor nodulation and lack of inoculation with effective rhizobia. In this study a total of...


Gebremedhin, W.Assefa, F.Thuita, Moses N.Masso, C.[Nutritionally versatile, abiotic stress resistant and symbiotically effective chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) root nodulating rhizobial isolates from eastern, southeastern and southern Ethiopia.]Nutritionally versatile, abiotic stress resistant and symbiotically effective chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) root nodulating rhizobial isolates from eastern, southeastern and southern Ethiopia.
