Breeding efforts for genetic improvement of banana and plantain have gradually shifted from individual trait selection to simultaneous improvement of several traits, following an ideotype concept. Therefore, information on the phenotypic and genetic association among these traits, and the influen...
Les efforts d'amélioration génétique du bananier et du bananier-plantain ont graduellement passé de la sélection de caractères individuels à celle simultanée de plusieurs caractères, suivant un concept d'idéotype. Ainsi, il devenu est important pour le sélectionneur Musa de connaître le degré d'a...

Phenotypic and genetic correlations in Musa populations in Nigeria
Post-harvest characteristics of 36 Musa genotypes were evaluated under two cropping systems. Genotypes included AAA x AA, AAB x AA and ABB x AA (or BB) and their landraces AAA, AAB and ABB grown under monocropping and in the alleys of natural multi-species hedgerows. Significant differences (P &l...

Genetic and cropping system effects on yield and postharvest characteristics of Musa species in Southeastern Nigeria
The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model was used to evaluate the stability patterns of 36 Musa genotypes in four cropping environments for bunch weight, pulp weight, and dry matter content. Alleycropping generally induced higher means for all traits than did sole cro...

Four statistical approaches were examined for stability analysis for yield in order to determine their congruence in identification of musa genotypes. Thirty-six Musa genotypes grown in four location for two crop cycle were evaluated. The statistical methods used included Gauch’s additive main ef...
