In Uganda, highland banana yields (5-30 t ha-1yr-1) are low in comparison to potential yields (70 t ha-1yr-1) due to high pest and disease pressure, soil fertility decline, and poor management. Although it is generally accepted that soil exhaustion is a major cause of low and declining yields, th...
