Abstract
Aims: Spider plant ( Cleome gynandra L.) is one of the most important traditional vegetables in Kenya, albeit underutilized. Concurrently, scanty information is available on its potential for vegetable and seed production. The objective of this study was therefore to evaluate spider plant germplasm for agronomic traits pertinent to seed and vegetable production. Study Design: A complete randomized design (CRD) with three replicates was used. Place and Duration of Study: Two greenhouse experiments were conducted at Upper Kabete Field Station of the University of Nairobi, Kenya, for a period of 180 days (March-August, 2014). Methodology: Twenty-five genotypes obtained from the Gene bank of Kenya and farmers’ fields
