Breeding efforts for genetic improvement of banana and plantain have gradually shifted from individual trait selection to simultaneous improvement of several traits, following an ideotype concept. Therefore, information on the phenotypic and genetic association among these traits, and the influen...
Les efforts d'amélioration génétique du bananier et du bananier-plantain ont graduellement passé de la sélection de caractères individuels à celle simultanée de plusieurs caractères, suivant un concept d'idéotype. Ainsi, il devenu est important pour le sélectionneur Musa de connaître le degré d'a...

Fruit size is an important commercial characteristic for markets specializing in plantains. Bunch pruning and appropriate soil fertility management are measures adopted to improve the fruit size of Musacrops in many countries. This study investigated the combined effects of poultry manure and bun...

The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model was used to evaluate the stability patterns of 36 Musa genotypes in four cropping environments for bunch weight, pulp weight, and dry matter content. Alleycropping generally induced higher means for all traits than did sole cro...

The study was conducted to determine iron, zinc and potassium contents and the proximate qualities of ripe and unripe fruits of five Musa genotypes (‘Agbagba’, ‘FHIA 21’, ‘PITA 14’, ‘PITA 24’ and ‘30456-2’). Methodology and results: The genotypes were grown under organic and inorganic fertilizer...
