- W2169140908 abstract "Sorghum productivity in Uganda is constrained by several factors, of which Striga hermonthica infestation is one of the most important. A participatory rural appraisal was carried out in four districts of Eastern Uganda in December 2008 to January 2009. The main objectives were to study the current constraints faced by farmers in sorghum production and determine their preferences for new sorghum varieties. Group discussions guided by a checklist were used to document the constraints to sorghum production and farmers’ preferences for new sorghum varieties. A semi-structured questionnaire coupled with field inspections were also used for data collection. Striga was identified as the main constraint limiting sorghum production in Eastern Uganda, followed by insect pests. Farmers indicated preference for red grain sorghum with erect and compact heads, a plant height of 1.5 m and a maturity period of around three months, as well as Striga resistance and drought tolerance. From farmers’ own assessments, the individual field surveys and soil seed bank analyses that were carried out, the degree of Striga infestation in farmers’ fields was found to be high. This study further found that while farmers were adequately aware of the Striga problem in their fields, they had considerably limited knowledge of the factors that lead to Striga increase and the possible ways of controlling it. Therefore, there is urgent need to sensitise farmers about the biology and control of Striga, and develop new Striga resistant sorghum varieties that are endowed with other farmer preferred attributes in order to improve sorghum production in Eastern Uganda." @default.
