Combining Ability and Heterosis of Selected Grain and Forage Dual Purpose Sorghum Genotypes
(Journal of Agricultural Science, 2017)
Sorghum is an important food and feed source in mixed crop-livestock production systems where its dual usage is a preferred option, especially among the resource poor small-scale farmers. Attempts to improve fodder quality ...
New sources of sorghum resistant genotypes to downy mildew disease in Uganda
(BIODIVERSITAS, 2019)
Kumi F, Badji A, Mwila N, Odong T, Ochwo-Ssemakula M, Tusiime G, Gibson P, Biruma M, Prom KL, Cuevas HE, Agbahoungba S, Rubaihayo P. 2019. New sources of sorghum resistant genotypes to downy mildew disease in Uganda. ...
Reaction of Waxy and Opaque-2 Inbreds and their Derived Progenies to Multiple Foliar Diseases of Maize in Uganda
(Journal of Agricultural Science, 2012)
Specialty maize lines possessing important endosperm genes waxy and/or opaque-2 enhance processing and
nutritional qualities of the grain. However, production and utilization of specialty maize varieties for food, feeds
and ...
Estimates of combining ability and heritability in cowpea genotypes under drought stress and nonstress conditions in Uganda
(Journal of Plant Breeding and Crop Science, 2017)
Cowpea is an important source of food and income for small scale farmers in Uganda. Production is,
however, affected by both biotic and abiotic stresses. Drought stress has recently emerged as a serious
concern due to ...
Influence of environment on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] resistance to groundnut leaf miner, Aproaerema modicella (Deventer) in Uganda
(Journal of Plant Breeding and Crop Science, 2018)
Groundnut leaf miner (GLM) [Aproaerema modicella (Deventer)] is a serious problem for soybean
cultivation in Uganda causing yield losses of up to 100%. The use of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]
cultivars resistant to ...
Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interactions Analysis of Yield Performances in Cowpea Genotypes under Ugandan Environments
(International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR), 2017)
Yield in legumes is the result of many plant processes, which are usually expressed in yield and have been shown to be affected by management, genotype and environment. The objectives of this study were to assess the extent ...
Identification and mapping of quantitative trait loci associated with soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) resistance in genotype UG 5
(African Journal of Biotechnology, 2018)
Soybean rust, Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is one of the most serious and widespread foliar diseases of soybean causing high yield losses world-wide. The objective of this study was to identify and map quantitative trait loci ...
Response of Cowpea Genotypes to Drought Stress in Uganda
(American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2017)
Moisture stress is a challenge to cowpea production in the drought prone
areas of eastern and north eastern Uganda, with yield losses of up to 50% reported.
Genotypes grown by farmers are not drought tolerant. This study ...
Influence of environment on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] resistance to groundnut leaf miner, Aproaerema modicella (Deventer) in Uganda
(Journal of Plant Breeding and Crop Science, 2018)
Groundnut leaf miner (GLM) [Aproaerema modicella (Deventer)] is a serious problem for soybean cultivation in Uganda causing yield losses of up to 100%. The use of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars resistant to GLM ...
Fusarium oxysporum Race 1 resistance and quality traits variations in apple banana germplasm
(Journal of Plant Breeding and Crop Science, 2020)
Musa species, AAB genome group, commonly known as Sukali Ndizi (SND) in Uganda, has attained a
substantial commercial value in the recent past owing to its superior fruit quality attributes and better
prices. However, ...
