  • Yield and Nutritive Attributes Are Not Considered by Farmers in Choice of Sweet Potato Varieties Grown in East Kamagak Location – Homabay County-Kenya
    The International Journal Of Science & Technoledge (ISSN 2321 – 919X) www.theijst.com THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLEDGE Yield and Nutritive Attributes Are Not Considered by Farmers in Choice of Sweet Potato Varieties Grown in East Kamagak Location – Homabay County-Kenya Onyango Rosally Ph.D. Student, Department of Agricultural Science and Technology, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya Dr. Wilson Thagana Senior Lecturer, Department of Agricultural Science and Technology, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya Dr. Joseph Gweyi Senior Lecturer, Department of Agricultural Science and Technology, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya Dr. Laura Karanja Researcher, Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, Njoro, Kenya Abstract: Sweet potato is one of the most important crops for food security and income generation in Kenya. The crop is increasing in importance as adverse climate changes limit crop production in many areas. Understanding the genetic diversity of germplasm of crop species is of importance for its rational management and use. Identification of the sweet potato landraces is paramount in addressing food security not only in the study region but elsewhere in the country. Morphological characterization of the accessions facilitates the identification of duplicates and unique traits which is important in the future improvement of the crop having the desired characteristics. The study aimed at identifying the factors that farmers consider in selecting the sweet potato variety to plant in East Kamagak location of Rachuonyo District, Homabay County. The experiment started with survey and germplasm collection aided by use of questionnaire. The accessions were used for morphological characterization, The results showed that 30% 0f the farmers selected sweet potato to plant based on taste compared to 24% farmers who preferred high yielding varieties.

  • CHOLERA COUNTRY PROFILE: KENYA Last Update: 29 April 2010
    WO RLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION Global Task Force on Cholera Control CHOLERA COUNTRY PROFILE: KENYA Last update: 29 April 2010 General Country Information: The Republic of Kenya is located in eastern Africa, and borders Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda and Sudan with an east coast along the Indian Ocean. Kenya is divided into eight provinces: Central, Coast, Eastern, North Eastern, Nyanza, Rift Valley and Western and Nairobi. The provinces are further subdivided into 69 districts. Nairobi, the capital, is the largest city of Kenya. In 1885, Kenya was made a German protectorate over the Sultan of Zanzibar and coastal areas were progressively taken over by British establishments especially in the costal areas. Hostilities between German military forces and British troops (supported by Indian Army troops) were to end in 1918 as the Armistice of the first World War was signed. Kenya gained its independence from Great Britain in December 1963 when a government was formed by Jomo Kenyatta head of the KANU party (Kenya National African Union). Kenya's economy is highly dependant on tourism and Nairobi is the primary communication and financial hub of East Africa. It enjoys the region's best transportation linkages, communications infrastructure, and trained personnel. Many foreign firms maintain regional branches or representative offices in the city. Since December 2007, following the national elections, Kenya has been affected by political turmoil and violent rampages in several parts of the country leading to economic and humanitarian crisis. Kenya's Human Development Index is 147 over 182. The major cause of mortality and morbidity is malaria. Malnutrition rates are high (around 50'000 malnourished children and women in 27 affected districts in 2006).

In Africa, it is grown in small plots by poorer farmers. Production of the crop is extremely low in Kenya as compared to other African countries due to the existence of common insect pests. Sweet potato weevil (Cylas spp.) is known as the biggest pit fall for production and productivity of the crop in the country. This study sought to determine the opinion of sweet potato farmers concerning sweet potato resistance to Cylas spp. and determine control strategies employed by sweet potato farmers in managing the pest. The study also sought to determine the sweet potato production constraints faced by the farmers in Homa Bay County, Kenya. The study was conducted using a Participatory Rural Appraisal approach in which 269 farmers in the County were interviewed on the sweet potato varieties with field resistance to Cylas spp., the crops’ production constraints (with emphasis on damage by Cylas spp.) and farmers’ control strategies in regard to the weevil.
