Pests and diseases on cowpea in Uganda: Experiences from a diagnostic survey.
(African Crop Science Society, 1999)
diagnostic survey (DS) using a questionnaire covering 525 farm households was conducted in 1993/94 to determine the status of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) and its production constraints in Uganda. Subsequent on-farm ...
Effect of Rhizobium-inoculated pueraria phaseolides green manure on soil nitrogen
(Soil Science Society of East Africa, 1999)
Efforts have been made to improve agricultural productivity through improving the overall agronomic practices yet yields are still below the expected potentials. This could be attributed to soil fertility exhaustion, ...
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 ...
Potential for organic and inorganic fertilization for sustainable coffee production in Uganda
(African Crop Science Society, 1996)
The economy of Uganda is heavily dependent on Agriculture. Most of the export earnings come from coffee which is produced mainly by small scale farmers. However, the productivity of this crop has declined over the years. ...
Increase of crop yields by beneficial organisms: a case study of Rhizobia use in Uganda
(Soil Science Society of East Africa, 1999)
Legume production in Uganda has been increasing since 1980 in terms of National total hectarage. However, yields per hectare have remained very low. This is highly attributed to the facts that the legumes are grown on ...
Dryland husbandry in Uganda
(Organization for Social Science Research in Eastern and Southern Africa (OSSREA), 1999-12)
This publication contains two research-based articles on Dryland Husbandry in Uganda. The first is on Research and Pastoral Resource management and the second is an Economic Assessment in Pastoral management. Both researches ...

The effects of differernt land clearing and soil management practices on soil productivity in the Lake Victoria crescent zone of Uganda
(Soil Science Society of Eastern Africa, 1998)
Land clearing and the subsequent soil management practices are important steps in determining the sustainability of crop production in high rainfall areas. Soil productivity has decreased in the high rainfall zone of Uganda ...
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 ...
