(Makerere University, 2012-11)
Declining soil fertility is a fundamental impediment to agricultural growth and a major reason for the slow growth in food production in sub-Saharan Africa. Among the primary plant macronutrients, phosphorus is the most ...
Development of an appropriate solar radiation model for Uganda
(Makerere University, 2006-09)
Sizing of solar energy systems is necessary in order to optimize their output. This requires a database of solar radiation for locations for which the systems are being assessed. Solar radiation data is also required in ...
Characterization of selected pesticide residues in sediments of the Ugandan side of Lake Victoria
(Makerere University, 2009-06)
This study investigated the role of biogeochemical processes in influencing bio-availability and biodegradation of selected pesticides in Lake Victoria. Due to the hydrophobicity nature of most pesticides, sediments which ...
