Tinzaara, W.Karamura, E.B.Blomme, GuyJogo, WellingtonOcimati, W.Rietveld, A.M.Kubiriba, J.Opio, F.[Why sustainable management of Xanthomonas wilt of banana in East and Central Africa has been elusive]Why sustainable management of Xanthomonas wilt of banana in East and Central Africa has been elusive

Banana Xanthomonas Wilt (BXW) is an important emerging and non-curable infectious plant pathogen in sub-Saharan Africa that can cause up to 100% yield loss, negatively impacting sustainable access to food and income to more than 100 million banana farmers. This study disentangles adopters into pa...

Black Sigatoka disease, caused by Pseudocercospora fijiensis is a serious constraint to banana production worldwide. The disease continues to spread in new ecological niches and there is an urgent need to develop strategies for its control. The high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway in Saccharomy...

Banana is a key staple and cash crop in east and central Africa. However, the recent outbreak of Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) has threatened farmers whose livelihoods depend on the crop. Since 2002, stakeholders embarked on campaigns to sensitize farmers on the disease and its management. This s...


Jogo, WellingtonKaramura, E.B.Kubiriba, J.Tinzaara, W.Rietveld, A.M.Onyango, M.Odongo, M.[Farmers' awareness and application of banana Xanthomonas wilt control options: The case of Uganda and Kenya]Farmers' awareness and application of banana Xanthomonas wilt control options: The case of Uganda and Kenya

Crop diseases significantly suppress plant yields and in extreme cases wipe out entire crop species threatening food security and eroding rural livelihoods. It is therefore critical to estimate the extent to which shocks like disease epidemics can affect food availability and the capacity of smal...

Insights from a survey among rural banana farming households in Uganda]Does gender matter in effective management of plant disease epidemics? Insights from a survey among rural banana farming households in Uganda

Ssebulime, G.Nyombi, K.Kagezi, G.H.Mpiira, S.Byabagambi, S.Tushemereirwe, W.K.Kubiriba, J.Karamura, E.B.Staver, C.[Canopy management, leaf fall and litter quality of dominant tree species in the banana agroforestry system in Uganda]Canopy management, leaf fall and litter quality of dominant tree species in the banana agroforestry system in Uganda

Banana (Musa spp.) is the most important food crop in Uganda as indicated by consumption rate, annual production (9.5 M t ha-1) and agricultural land committed to the crop. This level of productivity (6.3 t ha-1 yr-1) is extremely low when compared to the yields obtained on station and well-manag...
