Resistance to Fusarium root rot (FRR) in common bean is documented as a quantitative trait and as
such is greatly influenced by several environmental factors. A reproducible disease screening
technique that considers the selection environment is therefore important in selecting resistant lines....

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 ...

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...

Fusarium root rot (Fusarium solani f.sp. phaseoli) is one of the most important diseases affecting common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Trials to identify sources of resistance to the pathogen were conducted on 147 bean lines at the National Agricultural Research Laboratories (NARL) at Kawanda i...

Yields of maize (Zea mays L.) are remarkably low in sub-Saharan Africa and yet farmers have limited access to improved varieties. The objective of this study was to determine combining ability and heterosis of 18 elite maize inbred lines in environments prone to northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) d...

Fusarium root rot (FRR) is a major disease of common bean worldwide. Knowledge of the inheritance of resistance to FRR would be important in devising strategies to breed resistant varieties. Therefore, a 12 × 12 full diallel mating scheme with reciprocal crosses was performed to generate 132 F1 p...
