Abstract:

Maize (zea mays L.), originally a New World crop, was introduced in Uganda in 1861 (Sprague,
1987) and by 1900 was already an established crop (Ministry of Agriculture 1988). The World
Bank estimates that there are about 1.3 million ha. of land suitable for maize production in
Uganda (World Bank, July 1984 p. 49).
