Breeding values of selected cassava genotypes and utility of DNA markers linked to CMD2 LOCI
(Makerere University, 2007)Selection of parental material in cassava breeding is mainly based on the performance per se with limited effort on progeny derived breeding values in the national program in Uganda. Besides, cassava is highly heterozygous, ... -
Development of cassava brown streak disease among selected cassava genotypes as influenced by amount of starting inocula and level of host tolerance.
(Makerere University, 2014-07)Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is a major threat to cassava production in Uganda and the coastal areas of eastern Africa. The disease is caused by two ipomovirus species; Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan ... -
Effect of Cassava genotype and environment on population change and fitness of the Whitefly, Bemisia Tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)
(Makerere University, 2023)The whitefly pest complex Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) is one of the most devastating agricultural pests globally. Over the past two decades, increased abundance of B. tabaci populations throughout the cassava‐growing ... -
