Habitat utilization and reproductive biology of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus) in Albert Nile, Nebbi District
(Makerere University, 2009-12)
Some aspects of habitat utilization (distribution, abundance, size classes, condition factor) and reproductive biology (sex ratio, size at first maturity, fecundity) of O. niloticus were examined in Albert Nile in Nebbi ...
An ecogeographical study and genetic variation of the genus eulophia in selected wetlands of Uganda
(Makerere University, 2010-10)
The study was carried out in some freshwater emergent reed swamps typically dominated by a single reed species and seasonally flooded herbaceous wetlands whose vegetation composition was variable. These were the Kafu River ...
The effect of different mordants on strength and stability of colour produced from selected dye-yielding plants in Uganda.
Five dye-yielding plants namely; Morinda lucida, Vitellaria paradoxa, Syzgium cordatum, Albizia coriaria
and Justicia betonica were investigated in this study for the effect of mordant on strength and stability of
colour. ...
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 ...
Phenetic, distribution and genetic structure of Acacia Senegal (L.) Willd in Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2011-05)
The overall objective of the study was to evaluate the diversity and distribution of Acacia senegal in Uganda. The wide variation in Acacia senegal has presented taxonomic uncertainties and unresolved contradictions in ...

(Makerere University, 2009-11)
This study assessed the post harvest handling practices and physico chemical characteristics of shea butter in the parkland areas of Uganda. To investigate post harvest practices of shea butter (Vitellaria paradoxa) fruit, ...
Characterization of anthocyanins from selected plant species in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2008-10)
Different plant species were collected from different parts of the country in the period 2003 to 2007. Extraction of the plant material collected was done using methanol acidified with various amounts of trifluoroacetic ...
Distribution and incidence of the oil palm weevil Rhynchophorus Phoenicis (Fabricius, 1801) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in selected districts of Uganda
(Makerere University, 2020-10)
The weevil Rhynchophorus (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a key pest of oil palm worldwide, but information on its infestation of crops in Uganda is eleven decades old, therefore, outdated. The current study was ...
Population dynamics of fruit flies (diptera: tephritidae) in mango growing areas of Luwero and Wakiso Districts, Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2014-06)
Population dynamics of major fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) infesting mango orchards were monitored for 12 months using methyleugenol, trimedlure, terpinyl acetate and protein-baited traps in 2011 in Luwero and Wakiso ...
The molecular biology of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine drug resistance of plasmodium falciparum strains in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2007-08)
In November of 2000, Uganda changed its anti-malarial policy to replace chloroquine (CQ) with a combination of CQ and sulphadoxine–pyrimethamine (SP) as the first line agents. The idea of the combination was to delay the ...
