IFAD funded program: “Improving productivity and resilience for the rural poor through enhanced use of crop varietal diversity in IPPM;
Results from Uganda
Rose Nankya, Program SpecialistWorkshop 20-24 April 2015 in Rome, Italy
Increased diversity of crop varieties corresponded to a decrease in average crop damage levels and reduced risk to future damage

The diversity and weighted damage indices for Rubaya site
Collecting data at the moment to see impact of the phase
Cross-site, on-farm experiments identified traditional varieties with more effective resistance to pests and diseases when grown outside their home sites
Variety Home site Reistance to Where
Shemererwa Rubaya Angular leaf spot Namulonge
Katosire Kabwohe Bean fly, Angular leafspot
Namulonge, Nakaseke
Kishoga Kabwohe Angular leafspot Namulonge, Rubaya

Increased number of different landraces with different resistance available to farmers (amount of seed; number of varieties; number of farmers reached)
KIZIBA SEED BANK SEED QUANTIES AND NO. OF BENEFICIARIES
Increased number of different landraces with different resistance available to farmers (amount of seed; number of varieties; number of farmers reached)
Nakaseke seed bank
• Started with 379kg of common bean seeds of 37 varieties last season given to 45 farmers
•This season, have distributed 293kg to 39 farmers
•Due to bad last season, 329kg owed to the seedbank
•Nakaseke site in 2008 had a community richness of 12 common bean varieties
Increased production from clean diverse seeds, other public pronunciations:
Ntudde Justine of Nakaseke – banana growing trainings
Jovaile Muhoozi of Kabwohe – growing common bean mixtures
Joy Mugisha of Kabwohe – growing mixtures, increased diversity of beans
Nantongo Sophia of Nakaseke – increased diversity of beans
Musinguzi Boaz of Kabwohe – good quality seed from Kiziba seed bank ( 1seed: 9 seeds now 1seed :50 seeds)
Sebuwufu Allen – banana growing trainings
Examples of linking good agronomic practices with intra-specific crop diversity to management pest and diseases to improve

Examples of linking good agronomic practices with intra-specific crop diversity to management pest and diseases to improve production
Progress in using the Damage Abatement framework
One of the major findings was that, in Uganda, banana diversity has a positive effect in reducing the incidence of pests and diseases.
Encouraged farmers to increase the diversity on-farm by making them aware of the above positive effect.
Abatement framework
The other finding is that the most important aspect of diversity for abating yield losses is evenness.
Encouraged farmers to mix varieties in relatively equal proportions to attain maximum benefit of abating yield losses
