Abstract
Lack of appropriate maize varieties in Uganda has
• been cited as one of the major factors limiting the
production of this crop in the country. Thirty-five
per cent of the maize grown in the country
comprises improved open-pollinated varieties; 60%
comprises unimproved open-pollinated varieties
which have resulted from planting many generations
of the formally improved open-pollinated varieties
(Baguma, 1992). This, coupled with the
introduction of susceptible cultivars from Centro
International de Majeramiento de Maizy Trigo,
Mexico (CIMMYT) led to an outbreak of northern
leaf blight (NLB) -in 1988
