Genetics of drought tolerance in common bean genotypes adapted to Ugandan conditions.
(Academic Journals, 2015)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important source of food and income for majority of households in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, bean production in Uganda is being affected by drought which has resulted from recent ...
Pests and diseases on cowpea in Uganda: Experiences from a diagnostic survey.
(African Crop Science Society, 1999)
diagnostic survey (DS) using a questionnaire covering 525 farm households was conducted in 1993/94 to determine the status of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) and its production constraints in Uganda. Subsequent on-farm ...
A preliminary analysis of diversity among East African sweet potato landraces using morphological and simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers
(International Society for Hoticultural Science, 2006)
East Africa is known to have a wide range of sweet potato landraces and, therefore, is considered to be a secondary center of diversity. In this study, we assessed the diversity among sweet potato landraces from Kenya, ...
Influence of host plant resistance and disease pressure on spread of cassava brown streak disease in Uganda.
(SCIENCEDOMAIN International, 2015)
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is a major constraint to cassava production in Uganda. The disease is caused by two ipomovirus species: Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV), ...
Inheritance of root dry matter content in sweet potato.
(African Crop Science Society, 2014)
There has been much emphasis on breeding for increased sweet potato storage root yield, but less on dry matter
yield, and its inheritance. High dry matter content (DMC) is associated with consumer preferences, and ...
Prevalence of sorghum anthracnose in different agroecologies of Uganda
(National Agricultural Research Organisation, 2013)
Nine major sorghum growing agro-ecologies of Uganda were surveyed to establish the sorghum anthracnose incidence and severity. Hierarchical sampling was used. Severity of anthracnose in the field was rated on a scale of ...
Influence of season and cropping system on occurrence of cowpea diseases in Uganda.
(American Phytopathological Society, 1997)
An on-farm survey was conducted for two seasons (first and second rains of 1994) to determine
influence of season and cropping systems on occurrence of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) diseases
in Uganda. Viral diseases were ...
Efficacy of manual seed sorting methods in reduction of transmission of rice and cowpea seed-borne diseases
(African Crop Science Society, 2005)
The production of rice and cow pea in Uganda is increasing in acreage rather than productivity. This is attributed to a number of factors, mainly seed-borne diseases. The farmers in Uganda mainly use farm saved seeds for ...
Genetic analysis of resistance to rice bacterial blight in Uganda
(African Crop Science Society, 2012)
Rice bacterial blight (Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae) is a major constraint to rice (Oryza sativa L.) production in Uganda and as part of strategies to develop resistant cultivars, it is important to evaluate resistance of ...
Effect of crop protection management practice on yield of seven cowpea varieties in Uganda
(Taylor & Francis, 1996)
Field experiments were conducted during the first and second rainy seasons of 1994 to evaluate the seed yield potential of two commonly grown cowpea varieties and five introduced lines under different pest and disease ...
