Characterization and distribution of a Potyvirus associated with passion fruit woodiness disease in Uganda
Ochwo-Ssemakula, M.; Sengooba, T.; Hakiza, J.J.; Adipala, E.; Edema, R.; Redinbaugh, M.G.; Aritua, V.; Winter, S. (The American Phytopathological Society, 2012)This article describes the incidence and etiology of a viral disease of passion fruit in Uganda. Symptoms, including those characteristic of passion fruit woodiness disease (PWD), were observed on 32% of plants in producing ... -
Early screening of cassava for resistance to root-knot nematodes
Talwana, L.A.H.; Speijer, P.R.; Adipala, E.; Maslen, N.R. (Organization of Tropical American Nematologists, 1997)A method was developed for early screening of cassava for resistance to root-knot nematodes. One node cassava cuttings were planted in plastic disposable beverage cups filled with sterile 1:1 (by volume) sand-soil ... -
Effect of crop protection management practice on yield of seven cowpea varieties in Uganda
Edema, R.; Adipala, E. (Taylor & Francis, 1996)Field experiments were conducted during the first and second rainy seasons of 1994 to evaluate the seed yield potential of two commonly grown cowpea varieties and five introduced lines under different pest and disease ... -
Efficacy of manual seed sorting methods in reduction of transmission of rice and cowpea seed-borne diseases
Kawube, G.; Kanobe, C.; Edema, R.; Tusiime, G.; Mudingotto, P. J.; Adipala, E. (African Crop Science Society, 2005)The production of rice and cow pea in Uganda is increasing in acreage rather than productivity. This is attributed to a number of factors, mainly seed-borne diseases. The farmers in Uganda mainly use farm saved seeds for ... -
Influence of season and cropping system on occurrence of cowpea diseases in Uganda.
Edema, R.; Adipala, E.; Florini, D.A. (American Phytopathological Society, 1997)An on-farm survey was conducted for two seasons (first and second rains of 1994) to determine influence of season and cropping systems on occurrence of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) diseases in Uganda. Viral diseases were ... -
Inheritance of root dry matter content in sweet potato.
Shumbusha, D.; Tusiime, G.; Edema, R.; Gibson, P.; Adipala, E.; Mwanga, R.O.M. (African Crop Science Society, 2014)There has been much emphasis on breeding for increased sweet potato storage root yield, but less on dry matter yield, and its inheritance. High dry matter content (DMC) is associated with consumer preferences, and ... -
Pests and diseases on cowpea in Uganda: Experiences from a diagnostic survey.
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 ... -
A preliminary analysis of diversity among East African sweet potato landraces using morphological and simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers
Gichuru, V.; Aritua, V.; Lubega, G.W.; Edema, R.; Adipala, E.; Rubaihayo, P.R. (International Society for Hoticultural Science, 2006)East Africa is known to have a wide range of sweet potato landraces and, therefore, is considered to be a secondary center of diversity. In this study, we assessed the diversity among sweet potato landraces from Kenya, ... -
Response of improved cassava varieties in Uganda to cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and their inherent resistance mechanisms
Adriko, J.; Sserubombwe, W.S.; Adipala, E.; Bua, A.; Thresh, J.M.; Edema, R. (Academic Journals, 2011)Field based trials were setup to evaluate response and inherent resistance mechanisms to cassava mosaic disease (CMD) of four improved varieties; Nase 9, Nase 11, 00036 and 00057 together with Nase 4 and Bao as resistant ... -
Response of local cassava varieties in Uganda to cassava mosaic virus disease
Adriko, J.; Sserubombwe, W.S.; Adipala, E.; Bua, A.; Edema, R. (SCIENCEDOMAIN International, 2012)Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) resistant varieties have been used to manage CMD in Uganda. In spite the availability of a number of CMD resistant cultivars, several local landraces are continually grown in Uganda because ...
