Item Coleoptera associated with stored products in Uganda(1960) Davies, J.C.; Department of Agriculture, UgandaAs a result of a survey mainly in the Northern, Eastern and Western areas of the Protectorate and a study of the large number of available specimens in the Kawanda Research Station insect collection a list of the Coleoptera found associated with stored food products has been drawn up.Item Experiments on the Crib Storage of Maize in Uganda(1960/1961) Davies, J.C.Trials on the crib storage of maize in Uganda are described. 8 oz. of 0.5 per cent gamma-BHC gives excellent and economic control of storage pests for over 15 months.Item A Note on the Control of Bean Pests in Uganda(1959) Davies, J.C.; Department of Agriculture, UgandaStored legumes in the tropics are very susceptible to attack by members of the insect family Bruchidae. Uganda is no exception, and a recent survey of storage on African farms and Indian stores in Northern Uganda revealed that infestation was frequently very high. The damage these beetles cause is such that the institution of control measures would be well worth while.Item Spray Interval Studies on Cotton in Eastern Uganda in 1961-1965(1967) Davies, J.C.; Serere Research Station, Department of Agriculture, UgandaTrials on interval of spray and number of sprays carried out over four seasons at Serere Research Station in Eastern Uganda are described. These trials compared the efficiency of control of the main bollworm and bug pests of cotton obtained with DDT at the rate of 1 lb. per acre per application. Spray intervals of 10, 15 and 20 days were used with a fourspray regime, and 14 and 21 days with fourand six-spray regimes. It was found that over a range of climatic conditions the 14/15-day interval gave the best response in terms of increased yields of seed cotton when used with a four-spray regime. The former Uganda standard recommendation of four sprays at 10-day intervals was amended accordingly. With a four-spray regime all intervals gave a reduction in the percentage of stained seed
