Co-deployment of legume nodulating bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi for improved performance of common bean in an acid soil
(Makerere University, 2011-06)
Nitrogen and phosphorus are by far the most limiting nutrients for crop production in
sub-Saharan Africa, yet low-input natural systems are potentially the most dependable
sources of these elements among the small-scale ...
Influence of mineral zinc application on plant zinc biofortification, protein content, yield and nodule activity of bush bean genotypes.
(Makerere University, 2014)
Legumes contribute considerably to human dietary mineral requirements and proteins in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Bush bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in particular, is a key staple crop in the region. The crop is recognised ...
Evaluation of elite groundnut varieties for response to plant density, intercropping and yield stability in Central Uganda
(2010-01)
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea. L.) is an important grain legume crop grown by resource poor farmers all over Uganda, for food and as a ready source of income. However, most groundnut varieties grown in Central Uganda are ...
Improvement of resistance to fusarium root rot through gene pyramiding and validation of SSR PVBR87 marker in common bean
(2011-05)
Fusarium root rot caused by Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli is among the most serious diseases of the common bean in Uganda causing total crop loss in susceptible cultivars. Studies have indicated that 2-9 genes located ...
Estimation of consumer preferences for cowpea varieties in Kumi and Soroti Districts, Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2010-10)
Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata L. Walp) is one of the most important indigenous legumes of the tropics and sub tropics. In Africa information on cowpea marketing and trade is lacking and data on cowpea production and consumption ...
Characterisation of cowpea germplasm in Uganda.
(2014)
Characterisation of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp accessions is an important starting point in crop improvement programs worldwide. Analysis of genetic variability among and within crop species is a prerequisite to ...
Economic evaluation of legume-finger millet rotations in Pallisa District
(Makerere University, 2021)
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) is among the major food crops in Uganda but due to population pressure on land, soils have become exhausted leading to low productivity of millet. Legume-based soil fertility management ...
Adaptation and genetic analysis of earliness and yield component traits of yam bean (Pachyrhizus Spp.) in Rwanda
(Makerere University, 2019-10)
The yam bean (Pachyrizhus spp) is a high yielding storage root legume, rich in protein and micronutrients. The crop is constituted by three species, P. ahipa, P. erosus and P. tuberosus that are in cultivation but remain ...
Major limiting nutrients and lime requirement for bean production on three contrasting soils of Lake Victoria crescent agroecological zone
(Makerere University, 2016-11)
Farmers in the Lake Victoria crescent mainly grow common beans on three soil types: Phaoezem, Cambisol and Umbrisol, but the yield is still below the genetic potential. Some farmers have used organic fertilizers (1.3%), ...
