Phenotypic characterisation and starch profiles of the false banana (Ensete species) in Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2013-07)
Enset is a diploid (2n=18) species that phenotypically resembles a banana plant but the edible parts are formed by the pseudostem and the underground corm rather than by the fruit. Enset is an important staple crop for ...
Effect of access to market of agricultural commodities on soil and water conservation investment in Sebei Sub Region, Eastern Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2013)
Soil and water conservation (SWC) investments cannot be undertaken in isolation from development dimensions that frame the livelihood strategies of households in a specific area. A study was conducted in Kapchorwa and Bukwo ...
Using DSSAT-CENTURY Model to Simulate Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics Under a Low-Input Maize Cropping System
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2014)
Decline in Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) below the critical levels is one of the major indicators of soil fertility depletion in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with the main causes being poor management practices coupled with low ...
Performance of low phosphorus tolerant bean genotypes on acidic soils of Rwanda.
(Makerere University, 2014-06)
In eastern Africa, bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production is highly limited by soil fertility decline, particularly phosphorus (P); yet the typical small-scale farmers are incapable of accessing the often recommended means ...
Use and Management of Balanites aegyptiaca in Drylands of Uganda
(Medwell Online, 2011)
There is strong evidence across the drylands of Africa that local communities have utilized Indigenous Fruit Trees (IFTs) including Balanites for generation. IFTs have however, received limited recognition from research ...
Inheritance of resistance to rice yellow mottle virus disease in rice in Uganda
(2010)
Rice Yellow Mottle Virus sobemovirus (RYMV) is highly variable and several resistance breaking strains have been identified. This makes breeding for durable resistant very complicated since a variety proven to be resistance ...

The study was carried out in Kampala City from November 2010 to May 2012 to determine pollutant loads of selected urban streams and the Nakivubo channel so that an effective monitoring program may be designed. The streams ...
Genetic diversity and differentiation of Ankole cattle populations in Uganda inferred from microsatellite data
(Elsevier, 2011-01-05)
A total of 304 individuals from eight Ankole cattle populations of Uganda were analysed based on 19 microsatellite markers to investigate genetic diversity, relationships and population structure. Across all loci, 200 ...
Combining ability for resistance to soybean rust in F2 and F3 soybean populations
(Elsevier, 2012-01-18)
The impact of soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) on soybean yields has been extensively studied. How- ever, few studies have evaluated early generation segregating material under field conditions for soybean rust resistance ...
