Uganda has done less or no research on nematodes & yet these could help in pest control. There is huge potential in the use of the good nematodes in controlling pests, nematodes can be mass produced-Dr Solveig Haukeland @nkagimu @Fabiteam1 @FutureAfricaUP @MakCAES @MakerereNews

[Eric Lubega @ericlubega]

There is need for more studies in EPN, more studies in mass productions of indigenous nematodes and application methods because they are complex to handle. - Dr Solveig Haukeland @nkagimu @Fabiteam1 @FutureAfricaUP @MakCAES @hasifa_kabejja @MakerereNews @wammark
