Effect of combinations of land clearing and soil management practices on microbial biomass
(Soil Science Society of East Africa, 1998)
In a non-fertilizer agriculture of Uganda practiced on low-CEC soils microbial biomass and activities may be affected by and clearing, tillage and soil management practiced in the country. A three-year experiment was ...
Facilitation of rhizobium inoculant use by farmers in Uganda
(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 ...
Indigenous populations of rhizobia, legume response to inoculation and farmer awareness of inoculants in East and Southern Africa
(African Crop Science Society (ACSS), 1997)
The Rhizobium Ecology Network of East and Southern Africa (RENEASA) is a participatory research affiliation of microbiologists and agronomists which seeks to better understand biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and promote ...
Early screening of cassava for resistance to root-knot nematodes
(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 ...
Farmer selection of bio-physical diversity for agricultural land uses in dissected highland plateaus of Mbarara, Uganda
(Soil Science Society of East Africa (SSSEA), 1999)
Dissected Highland plateaus of Mbarara district are found in Isingiro and Rwampara counties. They are characterised by high altitude ranges of 1300 - 1800 m above sea level, with steeply sloping hills and ridges, V and ...

(Soil Science Society of East Africa, 1998)
Effective evaluation of soil management techniques require consideration of the soil, the crops, the farmers and the environment. Soil productivity in the "fertile crescent" zone around Lake Victoria of Uganda has decreased. ...

Persistence of an introduced bradyrhizobium japonicum and other soybean rhizobia in a soybean/maize rotation
(African Crop Science Society, 1994)
Streptomycin resistant mutant of Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain IRJ 2114 was developed, tested for ability to nodulate and fix nitrogen, and introduced on seeds at the start of the field experiments. Soybean (Glycine max ...
