Soil Heterogeneity and Nutrient Response in Smallholder Maize Systems in Uganda: Implications for Balanced Fertilizer Recommendations

Low productivity in sub-Saharan Africa is closely linked to declining soil fertility and suboptimal fertilizer use. While balanced fertilization can improve yields and sustain soil fertility, evidence for fertilizer optimization in smallholder maize systems remains limited and si...

Assessment of terminal heat stress on yield and grain parameter in wheat

Screening of wheat entries for terminal heat tolerance can be performed using yield performance along with various grain parameters including grain area, grain length, grain width, grain diameter, and grain perimeter. In the present study, adverse effect of terminal heat stress o...
