Abstract
To develop an inventory of the present knowledge about
soil-borne pests (insects, fungi, nematodes and bacteria) in
Uganda, we review in this paper, aspects of their diversity,
abundance, distribution in agro-ecosystems control
approaches as well as their role in sustainable land management.
Knowledge gaps about the soil pests and short
falls in human resource capacity are identified as possible
factors affecting the development of appropriate management
packages for the soil pests. Priority research areas
and capacity building needs are suggested.
