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 ...
Evaluation of alternative soil management techniques under intensive cultivation of the Lake Victoria creascent of Uganda
(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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Bio-physical and socio-economic evaluation of the phosphate rock and rhizobium on groundnuts in Tororo, Uganda
(Soil Science Society of East Africa (SSSEA), 1999)
The rapid population increase and reliance on traditional methods of agricultural production has threatened food security in Uganda. Growing of annual crop is one possible solution to the threat. However, frequent growing ...
Influence of season and cropping system on occurrence of cowpea diseases in Uganda.
(American Phytopathological Society, 1997)
An on-farm survey was conducted for two seasons (first and second rains of 1994) to determine
influence of season and cropping systems on occurrence of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) diseases
in Uganda. Viral diseases were ...
Effect of crop protection management practice on yield of seven cowpea varieties in Uganda
(Taylor & Francis, 1996)
Field experiments were conducted during the first and second rainy seasons of 1994 to evaluate the seed yield potential of two commonly grown cowpea varieties and five introduced lines under different pest and disease ...
