Canavalia brasiliensis (canavalia), a drought tolerant legume, was introduced into the smallholder traditional crop-livestock production system of the Nicaraguan hillsides as green manure to improve soil fertility or as forage during the dry season for improving milk production. Since nitrogen (N...

Nitrogen balances in farmers fields under alternative uses of a cover crop legume: a case study from Nicaragua
Potato production in Uganda is being affected by rainfall fluctuations in both timing and amount, resulting into inadequate soil moisture availability and low productivity. Also, potato production is expanding into locations at lower altitudes, where drought is more common. Therefore, drought str...

Characterization and evaluation of potato genotypes (Solanum tuberosum L) for tolerance to drought in Uganda.
Soil drying causes leaf rolling in rice, but the relationship between leaf rolling and drought tolerance has historically confounded selection of drought tolerant genotypes. In this study on tropical japonica and aus diversity panels (170‐220 genotypes), the degree of leaf rolling under drought w...

The ability of four introductions of the genus Brachiaria to adapt to the influence of plant pathogenic fungi under two soil moisture regimes was evaluated. Pathogens limiting the development of the crop were determined and the frequency of occurrence indicated that Pythium, Rhizoctonia and Fusar...

The Boran cattle, indigenous to southern Ethiopia, at one time formed the basis of a thriving slaughter stock trade between Ethiopia and East Africa. Ranchers in Kenya buying these cattle as they moved down to urban centers for slaughter found that they were more productive under the adverse envi...
