Nkalubo Email: tamusange@yahoo.com Research Officer (Plant Breeder and Geneticist),National Crops Resources Research Institute, National Agricultural Research Org, NACRRI-NARO Stanley Nkalubo is a Research Officer at the National Crops Resources Research Institute (NaCRRI) in He is currently working on the development of market-class bean varieties with durable resistance to multiple pathogens. Dr. Nkalubo has expertise in many areas, including genetics, plant breeding and germplasm conservation, seed systems, plant agronomy, and soil chemistry and fertility. His work has resulted in the release of two early maturing (60-65 days) and anthracnose-resistance dry bean varieties. Dr. Nkalubo also holds a B.Sc. in Agriculture and a M.Sc. in Soil Science, awarded by Curriculum Vitae
