The history of bean breeding in Uganda from 1960-90 is reviewed, covering production constraints, germplasm collections, introductions, and cultivar release. Note is made of the restructuring of the breeding programme in 1989 and the resulting large increase in breeding material handled. Yield re...
Se revisa la historia del mejoramiento de frijol en Uganda de 1960-90, incluyendo los limitantes de la produccion, recolecciones de germoplasma, introducciones y liberacion de cv. Se destaca la reestructuracion del programa de mejoramiento en 1989 que dio como resultado un incremento considerable...
Six weight-classes of white guinea yam (Dioscòrea rotundata Poir.) setts—2–5, 5.01–10, 10.01–20, 20.01–30, 30.01–40, and 40.01–50 g—were presprouted in fresh, moist sawdust in open-air, propagation beds. The 2–5 g and 5.01–10 g classes were described as microsetts. Three natural groups patterned ...
