Lack or shortage of healthy and improved planting material is a major constraint to the expansion of banana and plantain production. The situation is made worse by the lack of formal systems for producing and distributing quality planting material, thereby forcing farmers to depend on natural reg...


Njukwe, E.Ouma, Emily A.Asten, Piet J.A. vanMuchunguzi, P.Amah, D.[Challenges and opportunities for macropropagation technology for Musa spp. among smallholder farmers and small-and medium-scale enterprises]Challenges and opportunities for macropropagation technology for Musa spp. among smallholder farmers and small-and medium-scale enterprises

To explore the diversity and efficiency of smallholder farms, we developed an approach based on a comparative framework and a systems analysis, Five sites in three countries (Rwanda, Burundi and Democratic Republic of Congo) were studied in parallel to take account of variations in agro-ecologica...


Damme, J. vanBouver, D. deDupriez, M.Asten, Piet J.A. vanBaret, P.V.[A comparative and systems approach to banana cropping systems in the Great Lakes region]A comparative and systems approach to banana cropping systems in the Great Lakes region

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are known to improve the growth of many crops of agricultural importance. The amplitude of this growth improvement may vary depending on soil type. Here, we report the effect of the application of indigenous AM fungi, isolated from a Nitisol from Kirehe (eastern ...


Gaidashova, S.V.Nsabimana, A.Asten, Piet J.A. vanDelvaux, B.Elsen, A.Declerck, S.[Impact of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on growth of banana genotypes in three different, pasteurized and non-pasteurized soils of Rwanda]Impact of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on growth of banana genotypes in three different, pasteurized and non-pasteurized soils of Rwanda

Banana is an important crop for food and income in Burundi. However, average annual yields are low (5 t/ha) because of low and declining soil fertility, and pest and disease pressure. To help overcome the challenges to banana production in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa, the Consortium ...


Kamira, M.Crichton, R.J.Kanyaruguru, J.P.Asten, Piet J.A. vanBlomme, GuyLorenzen, J.H.Njukwe, E.Bergh, I. van denOuma, Emily A.Muchunguzi, P.[Agronomic evaluation of common and improved dessert banana cultivars at different altitudes across Burundi]Agronomic evaluation of common and improved dessert banana cultivars at different altitudes across Burundi

Pests and diseases are among the main reasons for low banana productivity in smallholder farming systems in the central African highlands, where the crop is an important staple, In parts of Rwanda, Burundi and North and South Kivu provinces of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, diseases such a...


Ouma, Emily A.Dubois, T.Kabunga, N.Nkurunziza, S.Qaim, M.Asten, Piet J.A. van[Adoption and impact of tissue culture bananas in Burundi: an application of a propensity score matching approach]Adoption and impact of tissue culture bananas in Burundi: an application of a propensity score matching approach

Coffee is a primary cash crop and banana a primary food crop in the East African highlands region, including Rwanda, Burundi, north-west Tanzania, west and central Kenya and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. These two crops often occur on the same smallholder farms, either planted on separate...


Jassogne, Laurence T.P.Nibasumba, A.Wairegi, L.W.I.Baret, P.V.Deraeck, J.Mukasa, D.Wanyama, I.Bongers, G.Asten, Piet J.A. van[Coffee/Banana intercropping as an opportunity for smallholder coffee farmers in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi]Coffee/Banana intercropping as an opportunity for smallholder coffee farmers in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi

As a result of declining farm/plot size and increasing food security needs, intercropping is practised by the majority of small-scale farmers in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. A banana-1egume intercropping experiment was conducted at the Mulungu Research Station in South Kivu Province to e...
