[Method] The present study consisted of five treat- ments： 1 CK （no fertilizer or manure）, （2） NP （nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer applied）, 31 NK （nitrogen and potassium fertilizer applied）, 4 PK （phosphorus and potassium fertilizer applied） and ：5 NPK （nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertil- izer applied）. [Result] Lacking of nitrogen or phosphorus led to a low yield; however, there was no significant difference in grain yields between the NP and NPK treat- ments which maintained a higher yield. Receiving no phosphorus, soil available phosphorus content declined to about 2.5 mg/kg. The concentration of soil ex- changeable potassium remained constant at a level of 60 mg/kg under the treat- ments without potassium fertilizer addition. Soil potassium spontaneous supply ca- pacity fluctuated around 100%.[Conclusion] In fluvo-aquic soil, nitrogen and phos- phorus were two key limiting factors to grain yields, biomass and yield component factors of wheat and maize, while potassium was not. However, potassium defi- ciency may occur in the future if there was still no potassium fertilizer applied.展开更多

Henn., is an important disease of wheat （Triticum aestivum L.） in many countries. To estimate grain yield losses due race Ug99 （TTKSK）, replicated experiments including fifteen wheat cultivars were screened for seedling and adult plant resistance. Greenhouse seedling test was conducted under controlled conditions. Field experiments were set up at two locations, Mau-Narok and KARI-Njoro, during 2008 and 2009 cropping seasons. The stem rust epidemics were created by inoculating spreader rows of a susceptible variety planted perpendicular to rows of non-protected plots. Rust severity and infection response were determined using modified Cobb scale. All the cultivars were susceptible at seedling stage, but some displayed adult plant resistance response despite of the high disease pressure. Mean grain yield losses ranged between 5.6% and 66.3% and were highly correlated to final disease severity （FDS） and the area under disease progress curve （AUDPC）. Genetic studies are needed to characterise the adult plant resistance in tolerant culti（,ars to race Ug99 for exploitation in breeding for resistance.展开更多
