Banana leaf pruning is a common practice to facilitate intercropping with legumes on farmers’ fields. It is however not clear if this practice improves farmers land-use and economic efficiency, especially after full canopy formation. To analyze pruning effects, three legumes viz. bush bean (Phase...

Landraces contain many genotypes, which makes them a good source of genes for crop improvement and hence provide an incentive to conserve them. Banana sampling and collection were carried out along the Uganda–Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) border, which is home to the largest in situ div...

This workshop indicated that significant progress has recently been made, leading to the current thinking that three forms of banana streak virus (BSV) exist. It also showed that many questions remain to be answered and that a significant research effort has to be undertaken concerning transmissi...

This study was conducted in July 1994 in Bukeeka-village, a bimodal highland banana producing area of Luwero District, Central Uganda. Its principal objective was to review continuity and change in agricultural production at farmer level. An inventory of names of crop-plants and of socio-economic...

Bananas, Musa species, are perennial giant herbs belonging to the family Musaceae (Zingiberales: Scitaminae) (Simmonds, 1966; Tomlinson, 1969). Most bananas are cultivated for their fleshy fruits, but some clones are planted for their edible conns or for fiber. Bananas are among the most importan...
