| dc.description.abstract | Soil is the base or mother of Agriculture in Uganda, however, most soils in Uganda are dead. They are less productive than they werea few years ago according to Prof. Julius Kitungulu Zaake, a soil scientist. For example, he points out that while one was able to harvest two tonnes of maize from an acre without applying fertilizers in the mid 1990s, it is difficult to achieve that today. Professor Kitungulu trained farmers in soil management at the Harvest Money expo, at Namboole stadium. At the expo, farmers were given tips on how to maintain soil fertility, proper use of fertilizers, choice of crops for which type of soils, how to access experts to do soil testing and sampling among others. | |
