Population diversity of rice bacterial leaf blight isolates in Uganda
(Pelagia Research Library, 2013)
The deployment of resistant cultivars is the best option to control bacterial leaf blight (BLB) and requires an
understanding of the pathogen diversity. BLB caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae is a destructive disease ...
Inheritance of rosette virus disease resistance among early maturing groundnut accessions in Uganda.
(2013)
Groundnut rosette disease (GRD) has long been regarded as a major limiting biotic constraint to groundnut production restricted to Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). The disease has been reported to be caused by a complex of three ...
Enhancing genetic resistance to soybean rust disease.
(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 ...
Prevalence of sorghum anthracnose in different agroecologies of Uganda
(National Agricultural Research Organisation, 2013)
Nine major sorghum growing agro-ecologies of Uganda were surveyed to establish the sorghum anthracnose incidence and severity. Hierarchical sampling was used. Severity of anthracnose in the field was rated on a scale of ...
Evaluation of cassava genotypes for resistance to cassava brown streak disease (cbsd) in Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2013-09)
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Cranz) production in Uganda is being constrained by the devastating effects of cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). CBSD is caused by cassava brown streak virus (CBSV), which affects all parts ...
