Co-deployment of legume nodulating bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi for improved performance of common bean in an acid soil
(Makerere University, 2011-06)Nitrogen and phosphorus are by far the most limiting nutrients for crop production in sub-Saharan Africa, yet low-input natural systems are potentially the most dependable sources of these elements among the small-scale ... -
Effectiveness of SW13 and ROC11 markers in breeding for resistance to BMCV and BCMNV in common bean
(Makerrere University, 2009-03)Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) and bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV) are responsible for significant economic losses in bean production worldwide. Necrotic strains are more aggressive than the non-necrotic strains ... -
Genetics of drought tolerance in common bean genotypes adapted to Ugandan conditions.
(Academic Journals, 2015)Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important source of food and income for majority of households in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, bean production in Uganda is being affected by drought which has resulted from recent ... -
Improvement of resistance to fusarium root rot through gene pyramiding in common bean
(African Crop Science Society, 2012)Fusarium root rot (FRR), caused by Fusarium solani f.sp. phaseoli, is one of the most serious root rot diseases of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) throughout the world. Yield losses of up to 84% have been attributed ... -
Inheritance of Bruchid resistance in selected common bean varieties in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018)Common bean is an important food crop in Ugandan and the world at large, but its production is hindered by the major storage pests mainly the bruchids; Z. subfasciatus and Acanthoscelides obtectus. Control of this pest has ... -
Inheritance of resistance to sclerotium root rot (Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc.) in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-02)Sclerotium root rot caused by Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. is one of the major soil-borne diseases of common bean in Uganda and many other countries. The disease is very aggressive causing pre-emergence damping off. It affects ... -
Occurence and characterisation of root rot fungi infecting common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Rubirizi District, South-Western Uganda.
(Makerere University., 2022-06-22)Beans are intensively grown in south western Uganda and are the second most important source of dietary proteins. Of the production constraints, Bean root rot is the most serious disease, causing total (100%) field loses ... -
Towards effective gene pyramiding for disease resistance and trait selection in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
(Makerere University, 2021-04-21)Major common bean fungal and viral diseases concurrently occur in farmer’s fields leading to complete crop failure when susceptible varieties are grown. Inherent genetic resistance is thus the cheapest source of resistance ... -
Value Chain Analysis of Processed Commom Bean Products in Kenya
(Makerere University, 2019-11)The common beans industry in East Africa is characterized by under developed markets with low value addition and a lesser amount of commercialization to the beans value chain as a whole. The study aimed at analyzing ...
