Abundance and diversity of tomato rhizosphere microbes in different land uses and their effect on bacterial wilt disease in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-04-26)Agricultural production is associated with changes in microbial diversity. This often leads to microbial unevenness and multiplication of soil borne diseases such as wilts, which are tedious to control and trend managed ... -
Agroforestry practices for enhancing food security and climate change resilience in Rajaf county, South Sudan
(Makerere University, 2019-10-18)Agroforestry (AF) is being practiced traditionally as a sustainable land- use option, in many agro-ecological zones of Sub-Saharan Africa. Agroforestry is important as incorporating trees and shrubs in food crop systems ... -
Application of morpho-anatomical traits of maize plant to quality control and quality assurance in maize seed system
(African Crop Science Society, 2016)Good seed quality can be obtained through control of the entire seed production process. There are emerging issues in the seed sector due to seed quality in market. In many countries seed and planting materials available ... -
The diversity and distribution of amphibian fauna in the Albertine Rift
(Makerere University, 2009-12)This study was conducted in a variety of forest habitats in the Albertine Rift region. The study was conducted in the various sites between 15th November 2001 and 13th December 2003 with a major goal of assessing the status ... -
Diversity and potential of nematodes associated with bacteria for bio-control of insect pests in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2011-07)A significant number of nematodes are associated with bacteria. These nematodes live mainly in the soil where they feed on bacteria and other soil organisms. They play commensal, obligate parasitism and pathogenesis ... -
Diversity of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris l) germplasm in Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2013-11)Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) is a diploid, self-pollinated species with 2n = 2x = 22 chromosomes and the most important legume grown in Uganda. A large collection of 320 common bean accessions obtained from different ... -
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 ... -

Impact of Human Activities and Land Use and Land Cover Changes on Diversity and Distribution of Large Mammal Species in Nimule National Park, South Sudan
(Makerere University, 2020-03)Globally, large mammals are increasingly faced with anthropogenic disturbances threatening the sustainability of the ecosystem services derived from them. Changes in land use cover are also a major function of anthropogenic ... -
Impacts of sand mining on species diversity of vascular plants in Lwera wetland, central Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-02)Wetlands provide enormous socio-economic and environmental benefits but they are threatened by various degradation activities of which sand mining is one of the most rampant and devastating in Uganda. This study was conducted ... -
The influence of land cover change on woody floristics in West Bugwe Central Forest Reserve,Uganda
(Makerere University, 2019-11)Forests play important roles in conserving biodiversity because they provide habitats to almost half of the terrestrial plant and animal species. However, forests are disappearing due to land cover conversions, and this ... -
Pathogenic and genetic diversity of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.Manihotis in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2019-09-05)Cassava bacterial blight (CBB), caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis, is the most destructive bacterial disease of cassava owing to its negative effects on yield and quality of planting materials. Thus, in order ... -
Pathogenic variation of colletotrichum lindemuthianum causing anthracnose of beans (phaseolus vulgaris) in Uganda
(ESci Journals, 2016-01)Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is a highly variable pathogen of common beans that easily overcomes resistance in cultivars bred with single-gene resistance. To determine pathogenic variability of the pathogen in Uganda, ... -
