Effect of mulching and permanent planting basin dimensions on Maize (Zea mays L.) production in a Sub-Humid Climate
(Water : MDPI, 2022-01-03)
In sub-humid regions, declining maize (Zea mays L.) yield is majorly attributed to unreliable rainfall and high evapotranspiration demand during critical growth stages. However, there are limited farm technologies for ...
Past, present and future climate trends under varied representative concentration pathways for a sub-humid region in Uganda
(MDPI: Climate, 2019-02-26)
Long-term trend analysis at local scale for rainfall and temperature is critical for detecting climate change patterns. This study analysed historical (1980–2009), near future (2010–2039), mid- (1940–2069) and end-century ...
Hydrologic response to land use/cover changes and Pteronia incana shrub invasion in Keiskamma catchment, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
(Geocarto International, 2022-02-07)
The Keiskamma catchment has undergone significant land use/cover changes (LUCC) and invasion by Pteronia incana (P. incana) shrub, and the hydrological implications of the phenomena are not fully understood. This study ...
Nutritional potential of tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) from semi-arid and subhumid zones of Uganda
(Springer Link: Journal of Food Measurement and Characterization, 2020-01-03)
It has been reported that plants that experience some form of stress while growing tend to accumulate increased levels of
nutrients that are useful to humans. We compare the proximate and mineral composition of Tamarindus ...
The impact of refugee settlements on land use changes and vegetation degradation in West Nile sub-region, Uganda
(Taylor&Francis Online: Geocarto International, 2020-07-31)
Uganda continues to experience high-refugee population influx that is beyond the established settlement capacities. Little information is available on the present and future impacts of settling refugees and host-communities ...
The role of indigenous knowledge (IK) in adaptation to drought by agropastoral smallholder farmers in Uganda
(Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge (IJTK)., 2020-01)
Majority of agro pastoral smallholder farmers in developing countries are characterised by low pay status, high illiteracy levels and are tied to cultural beliefs and spirits. These drawbacks have led them into using more ...
Contribution of rainfall on rooftop rainwater harvesting and saving on the slopes of Mt. Elgon, East Africa
(Hindawi: The Scientific World Journal, 2020-07-18)
Despite the achievements reported from using rainwater harvesting systems, the contribution and drawbacks that affect their usage in mountainous landscapes have received little attention. The uptake and usage of domestic ...
Knowledge, attitudes and practices in tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) use and conservation in Eastern Uganda
(Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2017)
Tamarindus indica L. is one of the indigenous fruit tree species that traditionally contributes to food
security and ecosystem stability in sub-Saharan Africa. We hypothesized that the indigenous people of Eastern
Uganda ...
Knowledge, attitudes and practices in tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) use and conservation in Eastern Uganda
(Springer Nature: Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine., 2017-01-21)
Tamarindus indica L. is one of the indigenous fruit tree species that traditionally contributes to food security and ecosystem stability in sub-Saharan Africa. We hypothesized that the indigenous people of Eastern Uganda ...
A pattern driven approach to knowledge representation in the disaster domain
(Springer Link: SN Computer Science volume., 2020-10-22)
Access to integrated disaster-related data through querying is still a problem due to associated semantic barriers. The disaster domain largely relies on the top–down approach of ontology development. This limits reuse due ...
