Amending Soils with Hydrogels Increases the Biomass of Nine Tree Species under Non-water Stress Conditions
Orikiriza, Lawrence J. B.; Agaba, Hillary; Tweheyo, Mnason; Eilu, Gerald; Kabasa, John David; Huttermann, Aloys (Clean–Soil, Air, Water, 2009)The classical aim of the application of super absorbent polyacrylate (SAPs) hydrogels is the prolonging of plant survival under water stress. Their effect on plant growth during non-water stress conditions is not known. ... -
SilicoDArT and SNP markers for genetic diversity and population structure analysis of Trema orientalis; a fodder species
Ssali Nantongo, Judith; Odoi, Juventine Boaz; Agaba, Hillary; Gwali, Samson (Plos one, 2022)Establishing the genetic diversity and population structure of a species can guide the selection of appropriate conservation and sustainable utilization strategies. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches are ... -
Tree species diversity and abundance in coffee farms adjacent to areas of different disturbance histories in Mabira forest system, central Uganda
Gwali, Samson; Agaba, Hillary; Balitta, Paul; Hafashimana, David; Nkandu, Joseph; Kuria, Anne; Pinard, Fabrice; Sinclair, Fergus (International Journal of Biodiversity Science, Ecosystem Services & Management, 2015)Coffee production in Uganda is done on small-scale farms containing a very significant tree component. However, there is little information on how tree species abundance, richness and diversity change in coffee farms as ... -
Variation in seed and seedling traits of the different ethno-varieties of jackfruit, a potential fruit tree species for food security
Ssali Nantongo, Judith; Mudondo, Scovia; Oluk, Richard; Agaba, Hillary; Gwali, Samson (Trees, Forests and People, 2022)A key component of the performance of plant seeds is the germination capability as well as seedling survival and vigor. Seed traits from five jackfruit ethno-varieties (infra-specific diversity as understood and managed ...
