ABSTRACT In modern agriculture, inorganic fertilizers are commonly being used to supplement soil nutrients, to promote plant growth, to increase crop productivity and also improve food quality. Fertilizer adoption in Uganda in small holder agriculture is among the lowest in comparison with other Sub-Sahara African countries. This study was carried out to investigate the adoption of inorganic fertilizers for crop production in Soroti district by identifying the common types of inorganic fertil...
ABSTRACT The research was carried out in order to assess the effects of growing rice in the wetland, using Lumbuye Wetland, Iganga District as a case study. The study objectively sought; to find out the factors influencing farmers to grow rice in the Wetland and to establish the solutions to the negative effects of growing rice in the Wetland.

ABSTRACT Humans move tree species beyond their native ranges both deliberately and unknowingly. In areas around Namwasa central forest reserve, most of the trees have been cleared by charcoal burners and cultivators who are residents of the area. The study assessed the diversity and abundance of introduced tree species, assessed the effects of introduced tree species on some selected soil properties and evaluated how significant these trees are economically and ecologically.

Specifically, the study aimed at finding out the values of forests to the Environment, investigating the factors responsible for the persistent deforestation, determining the impact of deforestation on the Environ...
)> ABSTRACT This study intended to develop a model showing the influence of human population structure dynamics on forest biomass cover. By establishing the relationship between forest cover and human sub-populations, a regression model was generated for the prediction of the survival of Kartala forest. The Zero, Juvenile and Senior free as well as the interior equilibrium states of the model were obtained and analyzed for stability. Numerical simulations of the various model parameters were...
