The study aimed to quantify the relative contributions of soil fertility factors (S), pests and diseases (P) and crop management practices (M) to highland banana (Musa spp. AAA-EA) yields under heterogeneous on-farm conditions. Soil status, nutrient levels, pests, crop management from 150 mats wi...

Banana is an increasingly demanded food and cash crop in sub-Saharan Africa. Reported yields in smallholder farms vary substantially. The importance and spread of yield constraints have not been properly quantified. A study was carried out in Central Kenya to (i) quantify the yield levels, the pr...

The effect of exogenous applications of potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and nitrogen (N) on the susceptibility of four banana cultivars to Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) was studied. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with normal concentrations of K at 783 mg/liter, Ca at 121 mg/liter, and N at 841 mg/l...

tBanana-bean intercropping systems are common in the bimodal rainfall areas of the East African High-lands and are characterized by low banana productivity. In these systems, the soil is tilled manually twicea year before bean planting with potentially damaging effects to the shallow banana root ...


Muliele, M.T.Bielders, Charles L.Asten, Piet J.A. van[Short- and medium-term impact of manual tillage and no-tillage withmulching on banana roots and yields in banana-bean intercroppingsystems in the East African Highlands]Short- and medium-term impact of manual tillage and no-tillage withmulching on banana roots and yields in banana-bean intercroppingsystems in the East African Highlands

Coffee and banana are important cash and food crops in Uganda and the surrounding East African highland region. Production is dominated by smallholders that have limited arable land and often coffee and banana are intercropped. No significant research and development efforts have been undertaken ...

The phenology of East African highland banana (Musa acuminata AAA-EA, hereafter referred to as ‘high-land banana’) is poorly understood. We tested three hypotheses: (1) the physiological age at floweringis independent of site effects, (2) there is no difference in threshold size at flowering betw...
