Low soil fertility and pest pressure are two causes of the decline in banana (Musa AAA) production in central Uganda. Foliar analysis by the Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS) pinpoints K and Mg as the most limiting nutrients. This study tested the effects of K and Mg additions...

East African highland cooking bananas (Musa spp., AAA) are one of the most important staples in the Great Lakes region of Africa. It has been hypothesized that land use intensification within the region has led to decline in soil fertility, increased pest pressure, and decline in production. To d...
