In studying plant colonization by inoculated Fusarium oxysporum endophytes, it is important to be able to distinguish inoculated isolates from saprophytic strains. In the current study, F. oxysporum isolates were transformed with the green (GFP) and red fluorescent protein (DsRed) genes, and beno...

Beauveria bassiana, which is effective against a range of insect pests, is the most researched and commercialised fungal biopesticide. Laboratory and screenhouse studies have revealed that this entomopathogenic fungus has great potential for use against the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus. H...

We studied the effect of treating banana and plantain (Musa spp.) suckers using boiling water for the generation of healthy planting material. Small, medium and large-sized suckers of two East African highland bananas (cvs. Mbwazirume, Kibuzi, AAA-EA) and one of plantain (cv. Agbagba, AAB) were d...

Banana (Musaspp.) in East Africa is threatened by pests and diseases, of which the burrowingnematode, Radopholus similis, is among the most serious and difficult to control. Fungal antagonists, such as Paecilomyces spp., can aid in controlling R. similis. In this study, Paecilomyces spp. was isol...

El cultivo de banano (Musaspp.) en Africa Oriental se ve afectado por plagas y enfermedades, en-tre las cuales el nematodo barrenador, Radopholus similis,es uno de los más serios y difíciles de con-trolar. Los hongos antagonistas, como Paecilomycesspp., pueden ayudar a controlar R. similis. En es...

Insect pests pose major challenges to optimum productivity of amaranth in Africa and Asia. The use of insecticides is the main control strategy, but is expensive and may pose health and environmental concerns, especially if proper care is not taken. Host plant resistance offers a cheap and sustai...

Classical innovation adoption models implicitly assume homogenous information flow across farmers, which is often not realistic. As a result, selection bias in adoption parameters may occur. We focus on tissue culture (TC) banana technology that was introduced in Kenya more than 10 years ago. Up ...

The amaranth leaf-webber, Spoladea recurvalis (Fabricius; Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a serious pest of Amaranthus sp. in Africa and Asia. Apanteles hemara (Nixon; Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is by far the most important larval endoparasitoid of the amaranth leaf-webber. We examined the effects of h...

The effects of nematode infection and mulching on plantain cv. Agbagba (Musa spp., AAB-group, false horn) yield and plantation longevity were examined in a field experiment at the High Rainfall Station of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) at Onne in southeastern Nigeria. ...

Three bioassays were conducted to investigate the antagonistic effect of secondary metabolites produced by 5 endophytic Fusarium oxysporum isolates from banana (Musa spp.) plants in Kenya, against Pratylenchus goodeyi. Percentage paralyses were recorded 3, 6 and 24 h after exposure to culture fil...

Under laboratory conditions, nonpathogenic, endophytic Fusarium oxysporum inflicts high mortality among banana weevils and nematodes. Following inoculation into banana (Musa spp.) tissue cultured plants, successful colonisation is necessary for efficient biological control of these pests. The pat...
