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 ...
Inheritance of resistance to brown spot disease in upland rice in Uganda

Mwendo, Marco Martin; Ochwo-Ssemakula, Mildred; Mwale, Saul Eric; Lamo, Jimmy; Gibson, Paul; Edema, Richard (Academic Journals, 2017-04)

Brown spot disease caused by Bipolaris oryzae [Breda de Haan (Shoem.)] is one of the most important diseases affecting rice (Oryza sativa L.) worldwide. Host plant resistance is considered an effective, cheap and environment ...
Response of Cowpea Genotypes to Drought Stress in Uganda

Mwale, Saul Eric; Ochwo-Ssemakula, Mildred; Sadik, Kassim; Achola, Esther; Okul, Valentor; Gibson, Paul; Edema, Richard; Singini, Wales; Rubaihayo, Patrick (Scientific research publishing, 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 ...
