Crotalaria ochroleuca as a green manure crop in Uganda
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/43311
Abstract
The potential of Crotalaria ochroleuca check for this species in other resources as a green manure crop was evaluated in a series of on-station and on-farm trials on reddish kaolinitic loam and sandy clay loam soils in Uganda. Production of the green manure by intercropping Crotalaria with either maize or beans was found to be feasible with little reduction in…

Comparison of rice lines derived through anther culture and the pedigree method in relation to blast (Pyricularia grisea Sacc.) resistance
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/43288
Abstract
Crosses were made between Fanny (highly susceptible to blast) and 11 cultivars differing in blast resistance. Using the pedigree method (PM) segregating generations were evaluated and selected for blast resistance. Via anther culture (AC), doubled-haploids were obtained from F1 plants and from F2 blast-susceptible plants. Pedigree and anther culture-…

Evidence for biological nitrification inhibition in Brachiaria pastures
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/42836
Abstract
Nitrification, a key process in the global nitrogen cycle that generates nitrate through microbial activity, may enhance losses of fertilizer nitrogen by leaching and denitrification. Certain plants can suppress soil-nitrification by releasing inhibitors from roots, a phenomenon termed biological nitrification inhibition (BNI). Here, we report the…
