Bio-physical and socio-economic evaluation of the phosphate rock and rhizobium on groundnuts in Tororo, Uganda
Nkwiine, C.; Zake, J. Y. K.; Kakinda, Mary Jo.; Sebukyu, Vincent (Soil Science Society of East Africa (SSSEA), 1999)The rapid population increase and reliance on traditional methods of agricultural production has threatened food security in Uganda. Growing of annual crop is one possible solution to the threat. However, frequent growing ... -

Facilitation of rhizobium inoculant use by farmers in Uganda
Nkwiine, C.; Siriri, D.; Ajonye, M. (Soil Science Society of East Africa (SSSEA), 1994-11)Short shelf-life and lack of locally available stickers are constraints to inoculant use by local farmers in Uganda. Therefore two investigations were conducted to identify a method of improving the shelf-life of Rhizobium ... -
