Ecological consideration indicate that traditional agroecosystems involving mixed cropping and genetic diversity among crop species are relatively more stable than modern agroecosystems. Modern food production technologies involving more uniform crops over wide areas, use of more costly inputs an...

The papers in this volume were originally presented at a workshop on participatory plant breeding. The workshop was convened to crystallize a novel approach that plant breeders, genetic resource conservationists and social scientists were demonstrating with increasing success. That approach is to...

The purpose of this study was to determine the variation pattern that exists in the East African Highland bananas (Musa AAA) grown in Uganda, estimate levels of dissimilarity caused by different growing conditions, and establish a flexible provisional classification and identification system. Tec...
