Content and distribution of cyanogenic compounds in cassava roots and leaves in association with physiological age
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/139717
Abstract
Background Cassava roots are widely consumed in tropical regions of Asia, Africa and Latin America. Although the contents of protein, vitamins, carotenoids and minerals in the leaves make them a nutritionally attractive option, their consumption is limited due to their high levels of cyanogenic compounds (CC). In this study, CC content in different parts of the plant (leaves,…

Influence of farmyard manure application on potential zinc solubilizing microbial species abundance in a ferralsol of Western Kenya
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/139690
Abstract
Zinc is an important nutrient for plant growth and development. Its availability is influenced by zinc solubilizing microbes (ZSMs). The effects of commonly promoted agronomic practices on the abundance of ZSMs are so far not well understood. In this study, conducted in 2019, we assessed the effects of farmyard manure (FYM) application, either sole or in…
