Paths of influence among components of yield in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench, cv Tegemeo) grown in the semi arid area of Dodoma Region, Tanzania

Reuben, S.O.W.; Rwehumblza, F.B.R.; Mahoo, H.F.; Hatibu, N.; Makungu, P.; Ashimogo, G.C. (1998)

Sorghum is a food security crop in tropical marginal areas. Improvement strategies for yield under such conditions are important. Genetic improvement for yield is done thr0ll:gh improvement of its components. Due to yield ...
Seasonal variations of nematode infection in Small East African goats and their crosses with Boer and Saanen reared under extensive and semi- intensive systems

Muhikambele, Vedasto; Chenyambuga, Sebastian; Mbaga, Said (2010-04)

A study was conducted in Turiani (sub-humid environment) and Mlali (semi-arid environment) to assess the seasonal variation of nematode infection in Small East African (SEA) goats and F 1 crosses of SAE with Saanen and ...
Assessment and management of post harvest losses of fresh mango under small-scale business in Morogoro, Tanzania

Msogoya, T. J.; Kimaro, E. S. (JAPS, 2011)

This study was conducted to assess postharvest losses and the effect of shade during wholesale market and hot water treatments on storage of mango cv. ‘Dodo’. To assess postharvest losses, mature fruits were packed on ...
Bacterial leaf spot of sweet pepper caused by Xanthomonads-. incidence, pathogen characterization, epidemiology and management options

William, Magdalena Nchagwa Magere (Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2011)

A study was conducted in sweet pepper growing regions (Morogoro. Arusha, Tanga and Mbeya) in Tanzania to determine incidence and epidemiology of bacterial leaf spot disease (BLS), characterize bacterial spot-causing ...
In situ pectin engineering as a tool to tailor the consistency and syneresis of carrot purée

Christiaens, Stefanie; Buggenhout, Sandy Van; Chaula, Davis; Moelants, Katlijn; David, Charlotte C.; Hofkens, Johan; Loey, Ann M. Van; Hendrickx, Marc E. (Elsevier, 2012)

To investigate whether in situ pectin engineering would be a helpful tool in tailoring the consistency and syneresis of vegetable purées, carrot was selected as a plant tissue in which the textural properties are largely ...
Identification and management of microbial contaminants of banana in vitro cultures

Msogoya, T. J.; Kanyagha, H.; Mutigitu, J.; Kulebelwa, M.; Mamiro, D. (Journal of Applied Biosciences, 2012)

Microbial contamination is one of the major challenges hampering the application of in vitro micropropagation technique for mass production of pest-free banana planting materials at the Sokoine University of Agriculture ...
Impact of spatio-temporal simulations of rat damageon yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and implications forrodent pest management

Mulungu, L.S; Lagwen, P.P; Mdang, M.E; Kilonzo, B.S; Belmain, S.R (Taylor & Francis, 2014-11-29)

Rodents often damage crops throughout the growing season, from germination to harvest, thus making it difficult to understand the cumulative effects of rodent damage for crops such as rice that are able to partially ...
Genetic characterization of heat tolerant (HT) upland mutant rice (Oryza Sativa L.) lines selected from rice genotypes

Yona, Neema (Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2015)

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the one of the most important cereal crop and staple food of over half the world’s population that provides 45-60% of the dietary calories . The global climate changes including increased heat ...
Effect of final moisture content, cooling time and paddy variety on milling quality of rice (Oryza sativa, L.)

Furahisha, Kulwa; Chove, Lucy Mlipano; Chaula, Davis (Pearl Research Journals, 2016)

The study was carried out to establish the effects of three factors -final moisture content (FMC), shade-cooling time (CT) and paddy variety on rice milling quality. Paddy was sun dried to final moisture contents ranging ...
Effect of improved tomato cultivars on productivity and profitability in Morogoro region, Tanzania

Msogoya, T. J.; Mamiro, D. (Journal of Animal &Plant Sciences, 2016)

The objective of this study was to assess yield, revenue and profit from F1 hybrid tomato cultivars compared to farmers' preferred open pollinated local tomato cultivars grown in Tanzania. Seeds of local and F1 hybrid ...
Banana xanthomonas wilt: occurrence and means of transmission in Kagera, Mwanza and Mara regions of Tanzania

Hashim, Ibrahim; Mabagala, Robert B (2016-02)

Abstract: Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) disease is a major constraint of banana production in the Lake zone (Kagera, Mwanza and Mara) regions of Tanzania where banana plays an important role as a staple food and cash crop. ...
Fatty acid profiles and lipid oxidation status of sun dried, deep fried, and smoked sardine (Rastrineobola argentea) from Lake Victoria, Tanzania

Chaula, Davis; Laswai, Henry; Chove, Bernard; Dalsgaard, Anders; Mdegela, Robinson; Hyldig, Grethe (Taylor & Francis, 2019)

Freshwater fishes contain long chain omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of highest nutritional value. PUFAs in fish are susceptible to oxidative damage during processing and subsequent storage. ...
