Crops offers a comprehensive survey of the various strategies for managing and developing increased and sustainable crop production. The study is organised into eight parts, which are: plant genetics and plant genetic resources in Uganda; cereals - milllets, sorghum and maize, oil crops; grain and legumes; roots and tubers - cassava, yams, sweet potatoes and solanum potatoes, and plantains. The remainder of the study concentrates on the agricultural production of traditional cash crop - cotton, coffee, tea, cocoa and sugar; and touches upon new areas, such sa sericulture and mushroom cultivation.
