Reaction of waxy and opaque-2 inbreds and their derived progenies to multiple foliar diseases of maize in Uganda
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2012)
Specialty maize lines possessing important endosperm genes waxy and/or opaque-2 enhance processing and nutritional qualities of the grain. However, production and utilization of specialty maize varieties for food, feeds ...
False promise or false premise? Using tourism revenue sharing to promote conservation and poverty reduction in Uganda
Tourism and the sharing of the associated revenues with local people have been increasingly fronted as key
instruments for maintaining protected areas (PAs) globally. This paper focuses on a tourism revenue sharing ...
Heritability analysis of drought adaptation traits in sweet potato.
(Makerere University, 2014)
Sweet potato is a key food security crop in Uganda whose per capita consumption is third to bananas and cassava. Drought is among the major constraints to sweet potato production in Uganda. A part from decreasing tuber ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Nematode control and soil fertility improvement in banana using sunn hemp in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2012)
Root-infecting nematodes and declining soil fertility are among the major problems limiting banana production in Uganda. Root-infecting nematodes can cause 100% yield loss. Information on synergistic management of nematodes ...
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 ...
