Conclusion<br />

The comparative analysis of each species per site benchmarked to the performance of the species in their natural<br />

range is one criterion for species to site matching. In addition it is useful to compare the relative performance of<br />

species in the various trials by considering the number of culms per clump <strong>and</strong> estimated potential yield of the<br />

species per hectare.<br />

Table 31 shows the species to site matching for Kakamega. The overall performance ranking is based on an<br />

analysis of the various criteria of each species as shown in Table 18 to Table 30. Table 31 shows for instance,<br />
