Controlled studies to determine the efficacy of pseudostem trapping in reducing adult populations of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar), were conducted under farmer conditions in Ntungamo district, Uganda. Twenty-seven farms were stratified on the basis of C. sordidus population de...

Clustering of ten woody and shrub legumes (Acacia auriculiformis, Albizia lebbeck, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena diversifolia, L. leucocephala var. K28 and var. K636, Lonchocarpus sericeus, Cajanus cajan, Crotalaria juncea and Tephrosia candida) was performed using the partitioning around medoid an...

In allocating experimental subjects that are not homogeneous (eg. animals, socio-economic units such as households, etc.) to treatment groups, certain attributes which are likely to affect the results if not accounted for, are usually used as classification variables prior to allocation. This can...

A collection of 108 accessions of Sesbania sesban (Fabacea, Papilionoideae) was grown in the field and classified using morphological attributes. Numerical analysis resulted in the division of the collection into 2 major groups, which corresponded to the different varieties that exist in the subs...

Several differnt methods using different numbers of plants and observations have been used for characterisation of germplasm. In this study two different observation strategies for characterisation were tested in order to determine the minimum number of observations and plant per accession whilst...

A collection of Sesbania sesban accessions was grown out in the field and classified using real and standardised values of 10 agronomic attributes. Clustering the accessions using the observed values of the attributes produced several groups which were mainly based on the dry matter yields after ...

Studies were conducted in the laboratory to investigate the different components of the resistance of Vigna vexillata A. Richards, TVnu 72, and several cultivars of cultivated Vigna spp. to infestation and damage by the brown cowpea coreid, Clavigralla tomentosicollis Stäl. The main objective was...

Bananas (Musa spp. AAA group) are an important food and a source of income for farmers in tropical countries. Black sigatoka (Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet), a fungal leaf spot disease, is the major production constraint worldwide. The replacement of most of the susceptible banana landraces re...
