Soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is among the major food and industrial crops grown globally for its high protein and oil content. Lately, in Uganda, soybean reportedly faces challenges with a storage pest, Callosobruchus chinensis . This study was carried out to quantify the damage caused by the pest and identify the sources of resistance in the germplasm in Uganda. The study was conducted at Makerere University Agricultural Research Institute, Kabanyolo (MUARIK) in Uganda, during 2015 and 2016. Callosobruchus chinensis was used to challenge 498 soybean lines under no choice condition, in the laboratory. Results showed no significant differences in eggs laid amongst the different genotypes; however the genotypes performed significantly ...
