IMPORTANCE OF WHEAT KENYA
Wheat is 2nd most important cereal to maize
Wheat crop grows in wide range of altitudes 1800 - over 2700 MASL Maturity is between 90-145 days depending Location
Cultivar
Only bread wheat is cultivated
Current area - 150,000 ha/year
20% of large scale farmers produce 80%
80% of small scale farmers produce 20%
Annual production 313-397 MT
Demand /requirement -900,000MT/year
Import >60%
IMPORTANCE OF WHEAT KENYA
Rising demand is due to:
High population growthHigh population growth
Changing eating habitsChanging eating habits
Increased urbanizationIncreased urbanization
Also enhanced by exports of wheat products to the neighbouring Also enhanced by exports of wheat products to the neighbouring countries countries East Africa Community (EAC) East Africa Community (EAC) Common Market for Eastern and South Africa ( COMESA)Common Market for Eastern and South Africa ( COMESA)
IMPORTANCE OF WHEAT IN KENYA
Production has been steadily increasing over the last 20 years
• From an average of 1.9t/ha-2.5t/ha
• Improved( superior) varieties
• Movement to the non-traditional wheat growing areas
CHALLENGES Reappearance of a more virulent stem rust race (Ug99) Other biotic and abiotic factors:
Yellow (stripe ) rust** Leaf (brown) rust Septoria spp Loose smut Fusarium sppSpot bloch among others Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus Cereal aphids ( e.g. Russian Wheat Aphid (RWA) Acid soils Climate change (drought & etc) High cost of inputs
CHALLENGES The wheat crop is attacked by a number of fungal diseases in
Kenya and the major and most important are rusts:
YELLOW(STRIPE) RUST
Yellow rust attacked wheat as early as 1908
Major threat a very year and no commercial variety is resistant
Disease severity increases with altitude
Serious epidemics also occur in lower altitudes (1800 masl)
In the past resistance became ineffective in less than six years, but now
newly introduced resistant varieties loose resistance within a short time
Now even latest releases have succumbed to Yr infection (e.g NjoroBWII) among others
