Item Screening of selected wheat (triticum aestivum l.) lines for resistance and stem rust (puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici) race identification in Nakuru County, Kenya(Egerton University, 2025) Achieng, MillicentWheat (T riticum aestivum L.) is one of the major cereals in Kenya, yet its production remains below national demand due to the stem rust disease. The evolution of Ug99 race evident with the emergence of aggressive races such as TTKTT has rendered more cultivars susceptible. The studies aimed at identifying spring wheat lines with adult and seedling plant resistance to wheat stem rust and also identify wheat stem rust races in Njoro and Mau-Summit in Nakuru County, Kenya.
