Morphological and genetic diversity analysis of rice accessions (Oryza sativa L.) differing in iron toxicity tolerance
(Korean Society of Crop Science and Springer, 2013)
A major emphasis in breeding for iron toxicity tolerance in rice is to identify differences that are associated with resistance and harness them for genetic improvement. In this study, thirty accessions, including IRRI ...
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 yam bean (Pachyrhizus spp.) accessions for root yield and nutritional quality under different agro ecologies in Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2013-08)
Yam bean (Pachyrhizus spp.) is one of the legume root crops that is exclusively used for its storage roots. The yam bean has three closely related cultivated species: P. tuberosus (Lam.) Sprengel, P. erosus (L.) Urban, and ...
Towards improvement of Ugandan cassava germplasm for drought tolerance
(Makerere University, 2013)
Cassava is staple food crop with potential to improve household food and income security for over 800 million people in tropical countries. However, cassava’s survival and ability to produce reasonable yields under drought ...
Assessing the potential of rainwater harvesting in Kumi Town Council
(Makerere University, 2013-07)
Kumi district has been known for its problem of water scarcity for a long time. This is partly due to the low water table and the presence of the basement rock which presents difficulty in abstracting and developing ground ...
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 ...
