Land use/cover changes and carbon stock assessment in Mukura sub-county Ngora district, Eastern Uganda
(Makerere University, 2020-12-01)
Like other countries in the Sub-Saharan Africa, Uganda and Mukura in particular are not an
exception to land use/cover changes from bush land to farm land. Mukura subcounty in Eastern
Uganda is one of the areas where ...
Apple Peel Biochemical Changes after Foliar Application of Combined Boron and Calcium II. Photosynthetic Pigments, Total Peroxides and Photochemical Efficiency
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2020-06-30)
Understanding of the physiological effect of post-full-bloom foliar boron combined with calcium (B+Ca) on apple (Malus domestica) peel tissues is envisaged to give way to the unknown mode-of-action by which these mineral ...
Inheritance of internal tuber processing attributes among selected potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.) genotypes
(Makerere University, 2020-08)
The new trends in the potato industry especially in processing require analysis of yield, tuber attributes and disease resistance in the development of new potato varieties. This study evaluated selected potato genotypes ...
A Study of the Dynamics of Sunburn Reduction in Apple (Malus domestica) using Foliar Applications of a Combination of Boron and Calcium
(Stellenbosch University, 2020-03)
Apple fruit sunburn browning (SBB) is largely a climate-related disorder that reduces fruit quality
leading to serious financial losses. The aim of this research was to unravel the mode-of-action by
which post-full-bloom ...
Contribution of morphological traits for prediction of sweet potato weevil resistance in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2020)
Sweetpotato is an important source of nutritional and bioactive substances especially to resource poor households in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, several pests affect it with the sweetpotato weevils (SPW) being the ...
Assessment of the success of active forest restoration in Mount Elgon National Park, Eastern Uganda
(Makerere University, 2020-10)
Globally, active forest restoration involving the planting of native tree species has been used to reverse tropical forest degradation. Despite the substantial costs ($ 2500 per ha) in active forest restoration, there is ...
Complementary food handling practices associated with food safety, health and nutritional status of children in Adyel division, Lira district
(Makerere University, 2020-11)
Efforts to reduce illnesses and undernutrition among children in developing countries are partly hampered by a continual existence of childhood infections. The objective of this study was to identify the complementary food ...
Apple Peel Biochemical Changes after Foliar Application of Combined Boron and Calcium I. Phenolics and Physico-Chemical Attributes
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2020-06-30)
Post-full bloom foliar applications of boron in combination with calcium (B+Ca) suppress fruit sunburn-browning incidence in apples (Malusdomestica). However, the mode-of-action is not yet explained and hence, protocols ...
