Adipala, E.; Omongo, C.A.; Sabiti, A.; Obuo, J.E.; Edema, R.; Bua, B.; Atyang, A.; Nsubuga, E.N.; Ogenga-Latigo, M.W. (African Crop Science Society, 1999)

diagnostic survey (DS) using a questionnaire covering 525 farm households was conducted in 1993/94 to determine the status of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) and its production constraints in Uganda. Subsequent on-farm ...

Effect of combinations of land clearing and soil management practices on microbial biomass

Nkwiine, Charles; Zake, J. Y. K.; Sessanga, S.; Tumuhairwe, J. K.; Okwakol, M.; Kasene, V.; Zobisch, M. A (Soil Science Society of East Africa, 1998)

In a non-fertilizer agriculture of Uganda practiced on low-CEC soils microbial biomass and activities may be affected by and clearing, tillage and soil management practiced in the country. A three-year experiment was ...

Effect of Rhizobium-inoculated pueraria phaseolides green manure on soil nitrogen

Nkwiine, Charles; Nankyanzi, M.; Zake, J. Y. K. (Soil Science Society of East Africa, 1999)

Efforts have been made to improve agricultural productivity through improving the overall agronomic practices yet yields are still below the expected potentials. This could be attributed to soil fertility exhaustion, ...

Evaluation of alternative soil management techniques under intensive cultivation of the Lake Victoria creascent of Uganda

Nkwiine, Charles; Zake, J. Y. K.; Sessanga, S.; Tumuhairwe, J. K.; Bwamiki, D.; Okwakol, M.; Kasenge, V.; Zobisch, M. A.; Sendiwanyo (Soil Science Society of East Africa, 1998)

Effective evaluation of soil management techniques require consideration of the soil, the crops, the farmers and the environment. Soil productivity in the "fertile crescent" zone around Lake Victoria of Uganda has decreased. ...

Farmer selection of bio-physical diversity for agricultural land uses in dissected highland plateaus of Mbarara, Uganda

Nkwiine, C.; Tumuhairwe, J. K.; Zake, J. Y. K. (Soil Science Society of East Africa (SSSEA), 1999)
