Does gender matter in effective management of plant disease epidemics? Insights from a survey among rural banana farming households in Uganda
La maladie du Bunchy top du bananier (BBTD) causée par le virus du Bunchy top du bananier (BBTV, genre Babuvirus, famille Nanoviridae) rend les plantes infectées improductives et finalement les tue. La BBTD se propage dans de nouveaux champs via le matériel à planter infecté et le puceron du bana...
