Fungal Pathogens Affecting Terminalia Brownii Flowers, Fruits and Seeds in Drylands, Kenya
Terminalia brownii Freshen (Combretaceae family) is a multipurpose agroforestry tree species widely grown in Eastern Africa’s dry lowlands. However, it needs to be more utilised, which has led to concern about its regeneration, which is hindered by low seed germination percentages. The study was carried out in three sites representing distinct ecological regions in agrosilvopastoral agroforestry systems where T. brownii trees are naturally distributed in the drylands of Kenya.
