Germination response to temperature and water potential for Sprawling bauhinia (Tylosema fassoglense), a potential crop for Kenya
The knowledge of cardinal temperatures is critical for understanding environmental tolerance limits for germinating plant species. However, this information is not readily available for Tylosema fassoglense [Family: Fabaceae]; despite its potential as a future crop to improve nutrition and enhance sustainable agriculture in Kenya. The objective of this study was...Otieno, V. ; Ulian, T. ; Nzuve, F. ; Kimenju, J.
