The trials will be conducted by the National Semi-Arid Resources Research Institute at two sites: Mubuku and Sarete. The purpose of the trials is to gather data that may lead to the development of GM cotton -specifically suited to Ugandan conditions", according to principal trial investigator Dr Emeetai Areke.
