The accumulation and cycling of nutrients in planted forest is essential to the establishment of management practices that can lead to the sustainable production of the forest site. The uptake, accumulation and release of nutrients depend on tree age and stage of development. The knowledge of acc...

Banana Xanthomonas wilt is a systemic disease of banana plants. We investigated the risk of spreading Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) through asymptomatic mature bunches. Samples of banana fingers and rachis from markets within Kampala, Uganda and at border points of Uganda with DR Co...

In a 3-year field study, Premier rabbiteye blueberry plants were sampled at three hierarchical levels (leaf, shoot, and bush) to assess severity of Septoria leaf spot (caused by Septoria al- bopunctata) and incidence of defoliation. A positive linear relationship (R2= 0.977, P< 0.0001, n = 2127) ...
