    The effect of weather on crop yields: A case study of the maize crop in Masindi District Western Uganda. 

    Akullo, Teopista (Makerere University, 2014)
    Weather and crop yield is a crucial consideration for food security in Uganda. This study considered a relationship between weather and maize yield as an aid to emphasize the significance and need for weather information ...

    Variability of grain-filling traits in early maturing CIMMYT tropical maize inbred lines 

    Gasura, Edmore; Setimela, Peter S.; Tarekegne, Amsal; Icishahayo, David; Edema, Richard; Gibson, Paul T.; Okori, Patrick (Crop Science Society of America, 2014)
    Grain-filling rate (GFR), effective grain-filling duration (EGFD), and total grain-filling duration (TGFD) are important physiological traits of maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield (GY) formation. To devise effective breeding ...

    Exploiting grain-filling rate and effective grain-filling duration to improve grain yield of early-maturing maize 

    Gasura, Edmore; Setimela, Peter; Edema, Richard; Gibson, Paul T.; Okori, Patrick; Tarekegne, Amsal (Crop Science Society of America, 2013)
    Early-maturing maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes yield 15 to 30% less than late-maturing genotypes. One strategy for improving grain yield in the early-maturing group involves assessment of grain-filling traits as secondary ...

    Characterisation of a diverse set of maize germplasm for resistance to infection by Aspergillus flavus. 

    Kwemoi, Daniel Bomet (Makerere University, 2010)
    Sources of resistance to Aspergillus flavus and accumulation of aflatoxin in maize have been identified elsewhere but no such materials are currently available for use by the maize improvement programme in Uganda. The main ...

    Agronomic performance and breeding potential of selected maize inbred lines for improvement of protein quality of adapted Ugandan germplasm 

    Kalule, Okello David (2008-12-15)
    The main objective of this study was to characterise selected QPM inbred lines obtained from CIMMYT under Ugandan conditions. Agronomic performance and combining abilities were determined to assess the breeding potential ...

    Genetic resistance of selected maize inbred lines to Striga hermonthica 

    Zziwa, Simon (2018-10-15)
    Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important food security crops in Uganda. It is annually cultivated on an area of 1,063,000 hectares representing 57% of the total area allocated to crop production. However, maize ...

    Factors influencing the distribution of striga species in maize-based cropping systems in Kasaï oriental province of the Democratic Republic of Congo 

    Vwambale, Musohongoli Anselme (Makerere University, 2015)
    In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), maize is the principle cereal and it is the second most important staple food after cassava. However, maize production has been reported to decrease over the years. For instance, ...

    Genomics of multiple-insect resistance in maize 

    Badji, Arfang (Makerere University, 2021-01)
    Maize, a food security crop, is attacked from the fields to the storage facilities by a plethora of insect pests on all parts of the plant. Most studies that were conducted to understand maize defense mechanisms to incorporate ...

    Utilization of flour from germinated maize to enhance nutrient density of soy-enriched maize complementary flours 

    Pendo, Yaredi Nghambi (Makerere University, 2018-08-23)
    Low nutrient density of cereal based complementary porridges resulting from high viscosity is one of the major causes of protein energy malnutrition in children aged 6-24 months in Tanzania. A number of studies have been ...
