Current Teaching

Characterization of Rhizobacteria and Biofertilizer Formulation for Growth Promotion of Irish Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.). 145 rhizobacteria were isolated from potato-grown soils from three agro-ecological zones in Tanzania. Effects of the isolates on pot-grown potatoes were evaluated against non-inoculated plants as and three isolates were formulated in different carrier materials as possible biofertilizers. Except for the number of days to emergence and flowering, rhizosphere soil pH, and salinity, potato growth-related parameters like tuber numbers, sizes, weights, and nutrient contents were enhanced by the rhizobacterial treatments in the screen house by up to 90%. The formulations also showed varied activities at enhancing potato growth and most had similar or greater effects on potato growth as the artificial fertilizers and can effectively replace the use of synthetic fertilizers in potato production systems in the country. Amount funded 20,000 USD. Project duration June 2018 – June, 2020

A survey of the sacred groves of the Kabras community of Western Kenya Source of Funds: Self, but still exploring funding opportunities to facilitate and hasten the work • Synopsis/Abstract of the Research • Sacred groves which are embodied in the cultures of local people have for years contributed to wildlife conservation and biodiversity. Despite this, their conservation role has over the years been negated by conventional conservationists and scientists. However, the resurgence of interest in their invaluable conservation role in recent years as well as the indigenous knowledge associated with them has attracted numerous researches in recent years. A survey of Kabras sacred groves will provide information that can help integrate them together with knowledge and cultural practices associated with them in contemporary conservation paradigms in order to garner local community support for conservation

Research Project 1:
Associate Researcher, Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) Project No. NE/P01626X/1 2016/2017 (PI – Dr. Caroline Upton – University of Leicester, CPI – Prof. Bockline Omedo Bebe – Egerton University, Dr. Batjav Batbuyan – Mongolian Academy of Sciences). The project involved a collaboration of Egerton University – Kenya, University of Leicester – UK, Mongolian Academy of Sciences and Indigenous Livelihood Enhancement Programme (ILEPA) – Kenya
• Duration: 2 years (2016-2017)
Title: Resilient Pastoralism: Towards Sustainable Futures in Rangelands
The project was conceived of in response to the Global Challenges Research Fund’s (GRCF) 2016 call for projects on the theme of ‘Building Resilience’. This was a foundation building call, designed to bring together new teams of researchers to explore innovative approaches to resilience, to develop and test new questions and to better understand policy uptake and ‘pathways to impact’, with a view to shaping larger scale research projects in the future

Research Project 2:
• Principal Investigator, Egerton University Dryland Agriculture • Duration: 2 years (2016 – 2017)
Title: Use of Seasonal Climate Forecast and Drought Effects on Livestock Assets in Baringo County, Kenya
The project was co-funded by Egerton University. The study assessed trends and severity of drought events, their effects on livestock assets, effectiveness and usefulness of Seasonal Climate Forecast (SCF) in predicting drought events, and identified enabling conditions for better use of SCF among the pastoral communities.

Research Project 3:
• Principal Investigator • Duration: 1 year (2012)
