Nematodes cause substantial grain yield loss in susceptible maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars. This study was conducted to estimate general combining ability (GCA), specific combining ability (SCA) and genetic effects associated with nematode resistance in maize. The 30 F1 hybrids generated from a 6 ...

Two node cuttings of 18 cassava varieties were planted in 20 cm diameter non-disposable plastic pipes filled with sawdust with the objective of establishing their resistance to root knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). The cassava plants were left to grow for one month after which they were inocula...

A study of the effect of plant population, fertiliser application, number of suckers retained per stool and desuckering time on the 5th and 6th banana ratoons was conducted on Kibuzi (AAA-EA) plantation from October 2000 to December 2002. The plantation had earlier (October 1999 to October 2000) ...

In Uganda, nematodes have the potential to cause substantial yield losses, yet it is not known whether farmers have knowledge of the damage these pests cause. A participatory rural appraisal was therefore conducted to assess farmers' awareness of nematodes, and to determine the preferred traits i...

Awareness of plant parasitic nematodes, and preferred maize varieties, among smallholder farmers in East and Southern Uganda: implications for assessing nematode resistance breeding needs in African maize
Maize is the most important cereal food
crop is sub-Saharan Africa though yields are below
their potential. Among the factors which limit yield,
drought stress is one of the most pervasive. The ability
of a crop to produce grain under drought (water) stress
is governed by many factors including n...
