Soil properties vary according to the topography. They affect water uptake and root exploration in the soil. Consequently, they may also influence the spread of plant–parasitic nematodes. This study reports on the effect of toposequence-related variations in soil on banana yields, foliar nutrient...

The influence of the topographic position within highlands of Western Rwanda on the interactions between banana (Musa spp. AAAEA), parasitic nematodes and soil factors
In the East-African Great Lakes Region, low crop yields due to widespread soil infertility involve difficulties to cope with demographic pressure. Banana cropping systems are widespread and crucial for people livelihood. Improving their sustainability requires a better understanding of nutrient d...

Soil quality problems in East African banana systems and their relation with other yield loss factors
This study aims to explain effects of soil textural class, topography, land use, and land use history on soil greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes in the Lake Victoria region. We measured GHG fluxes from intact soil cores collected in Rakai, Uganda, an area characterized by low‐input smallholder (<2 ha) f...
