Evaluation of new soybean varieties for market traits and adaptation in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2012)
This study was carried out to identify superior soybeans genotypes that are adapted to different farming environments in Uganda and most desired by farmers and processors through Participatory Crop Improvement approach. ...
Development of an energy dense finger millet based complementary food free of antinutritional factors
(2010-06)
Background The transition from exclusive breastfeeding to family foods, referred to as complementary feeding, is a very vulnerable phase that typically covers the period from 6 to 24 months of age of infants and young ...
Determinants of adoption of improved soybean varieties among smallholder farmers in Eastern Uganda
(2017-12)
Improved soybean varieties were introduced by Africa 2000 Network Uganda (A2N) project (Improving Smallholder Productivity and Controlling STriga in Eastern Uganda funded by AGRA in three selected districts of Tororo, ...
Resistance of soybean germplasm to the groundnut leaf miner (aproaerema modicella) in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2015-09)
Soybean is an important food and cash crop. Its production trend in Uganda has been increasing for the past 10 years, though yields are still below the potential. Soybean productivity is con-strained by a number of both ...

(Makerere University, 2013-11)
Soybean (Glycine max L.) is increasingly playing an important nutritive role in the food and feed industry in most countries. However, the crop is currently threatened by soybean rust disease (Phakopsora pachyrhizi). The ...
Response of improved soybean varieties to different phosphorus rates
(Makerere University, 2021-07-01)
In Uganda, soybean varieties, Maksoy 1N, 2N, 3N, 4N, 5N, and lately 6N were bred to address yield and disease resistance gaps. These varieties have become popular among commercial and smallholder farmers. Unfortunately, ...
Distribution and biocontrol potential of phlD+ pseudomonads in corn and soybean fields
(The American Phytopathological Society, 2005)
The abundance and diversity of phlD+ Pseudomonas spp. colonizing the rhizospheres of young, field-grown corn and soybean plants were assayed over a 3-year period. Populations of these bacteria were detected on the large ...
Evaluation of rhizobial inoculants on the productivity of soybean varieties grown on an acidic soil in Rwanda
(Makerere University, 2014)
Several high yielding soybean varieties have been introduced in Rwanda but yields have remained low and even declining especially in areas with acidic soils. Consequently a number of rhizobial inoculants were introduced ...
