  • Long-Term Storage of Sweetpotato by Small-Scale Farmers Through Improved Post Harvest Technologies

All rights reserved. © 2004 National Agricultural Research Organisation Long-term storage of sweetpotato by small-scale farmers through improved post harvest technologies A. Namutebi, H.

Box 7852 Kampala, Uganda 2International Potato Centre, Regional Office, PO Box 22274, Kampala, Uganda 3The Regional Network for the Improvement of Potato and Sweet potato in East and Central Africa, PO Box 22274, Kampala, Uganda Abstract Sweetpotato (SP) small-scale farmers of Luweero and Mpigi districts were introduced to improved long-term storage methods (pit and clamp) as a way of improving their livelihood. Based on a participatory approach, farmers were involved in a storage study where dry matter, beta-carotene and sugar content parameters were monitored over a 60 day period in Mpigi and 75 days in Luweero district. Pit and clamp stores were constructed by farmers in selected sites of each district. Improved SP varieties (Ejumula, Naspot 1, Naspot 2, New Kawogo, Semanda and SPK004) were used for the storage study. Dry matter contents of SP were exceptionally high, particularly for roots from Mpigi district, with Semanda variety having the highest dry matter (41%). High beta-carotene concentrations were recorded for the orange-fleshed varieties, SPK004 and Ejumula, 68 and 125 mg/100 g, respectively. Total sugar contents of the roots were generally low (1.6-3.7 g/100 g), with exception of Naspot 2 (5.7 g/100 g).

Sunday, April 3 @ 7 PM Zellerbach Theatre Part of the African Roots, American Voices series. 15/16 Season 45 ABOUT THE ARTISTS Johnny Clegg is one of South Africa’s most celebrated sons. He is a singer, songwriter, dancer, anthropologist and musical activist whose infectious crossover music, a vibrant blend of Western pop and African Zulu rhythms, has exploded onto the international scene and broken through all the barriers in his own country. In France, where he enjoys a massive following, he is fondly called Le Zulu Blanc – the white Zulu. Over three decades, Clegg has sold over five million albums of his brand of crossover music worldwide. He has wowed vast audiences with his audacious live shows and won a number of national and international awards for his music and his outspoken views on apartheid, perspectives on migrant workers in South Africa and the general situation in the world today. Clegg’s history is as bold, colorful and dashing as the rainbow country which he has called home for more than 40 years. Clegg was born in Bacup, near Rochdale, England, in 1953, but was brought up in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Between his mother (a cabaret and jazz singer) and his step-father (a crime reporter who took him into the townships at an early age), Clegg was exposed to a broader cultural perspective than that available to his peers.

FOREWORD Demographic and socio-economic data are useful for planning and evidence-based decision making in any country. Such data are collected through Population Censuses, Demographic and Socio-economic Surveys, Civil Registration Systems and other Administrative sources. In Uganda, however, the Population and Housing Census remains the main source of demographic data, especially at the sub-national level. Population Census taking in Uganda dates back to 1911 and since then the country has undertaken five such Censuses. The most recent, the National Population and Housing Census 2014, was undertaken under the theme ‘Counting for Planning and Improved Service Delivery’. The enumeration for the 2014 Census was conducted in August/September 2014. The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) worked closely with different Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as Local Governments (LGs) to undertake the census exercise. The 2014 census provides several statistics on different aspects of the population.

Automated Livestock Tracking and Management System: Makerere University (CEDAT), School of Engineering, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering By J. Nayebare1, A. Niyonzima2, P. Bogere3 Successful farming has always required intense manual labour and acute management skills. Technological advancements of agricultural revolutions reduced the quantity of manual labour required but human direction is still necessary. A main component of these new strategies is livestock monitoring information. Animal tracking provides valuable information including recent location, movement and feeding patterns, and land usage. The collection and storage of this information as well as actions based upon the information are becoming more automated. In this research project, a system prototype for tracking and recording livestock was developed. The prototype requires attaching an animal with an RFID tag assigned a unique ID. Different read locations (e.g. barn, dip, field, and gate) assigned RFID readers that read from the RFID tag. A tag read by a reader determines the tag’s location and, therefore, that of the animal. A programmed microcontroller, with connected readers, processes data from the RFID tag. A Wi-Fi connected microcontroller forwards the data of a tag, location and timestamp to a mobile application and web application in real-time, thereby availing data from all the read stations. 1st International Scientific Conference on Bio-waste recycling in Uganda – 2016 Ndejje University 2.
