Conventional evaluation of Musa through multilocation trials has often been carried out to ascertain the yield stability and ecological range of new varieties but, for prospective growers, it is equally important to know the fruit characteristics and ripening pattern of the genotypes. Indeed, fru...
L'évaluation conventionnelle de bananiers par essais multisites a souvent été effectuée pour étudier la stabilité du rendement et la gamme écologique de nouvelles variétés, mais, pour des cultivateurs éventuels, il est également important de connaître les caractéristiques et le comportement de ma...

D. rotundata is the most popular species among consumers in Côte d'Ivoire. However, its production is stagnating due to the many constraints associated with its cultivation, particularly virus diseases. The use of improved varieties from sexual reproduction could effectively contribute to sustain...

Risk assessments related to use of water and safety of fresh produce originate from both water and food microbiology studies. Although the set-up and methodology of risk assessment in these 2 disciplines may differ, analysis of the current literature reveals some common outcomes. Most of these st...

This paper draws together information from three separate projects on the production of Dacryodes edulis (G. Don) H.J. Lam or 'safou' in Cameroon, and its domestic and international trade. The volume of safou fruit commercialised in Cameroon in 1997 was estimated at 11,000 tonnes, equivalent to U...

Of particular interest for extractivism in tropical forest areas are useful species that occur at high density, such as the palm tucuma (Astrocaryum tucuma Martius-syn. A. aculeatum G.F.W. Meyer), a colonizer of disturbed areas in the central Amazon, whose edible fruits have found an interesting ...
