Smith, M.Bergh, I. van denPicq, C.[Proceedings. IX International Symposium on Banana: ISHS-ProMusa Symposium on Unravelling the Banana's Genomic Potential]Proceedings. IX International Symposium on Banana: ISHS-ProMusa Symposium on Unravelling the Banana's Genomic Potential

Introduction – Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a widespread health problem in Eastern Africa where banana is a staple food crop. Research has shown that certain banana cultivars grown outside Eastern Africa are rich in provitamin A carotenoids (pVACs) and could thus be utilized in addressing VAD in...


Ekesa, B.Nabuuma, D.Kennedy, G.Bergh, I. van den[Sensory evaluation of provitamin A carotenoid-rich banana cultivars on trial for potential adoption in Burundi and Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo]Sensory evaluation of provitamin A carotenoid-rich banana cultivars on trial for potential adoption in Burundi and Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
Bergh, I. van denRisede, J.-M.Johnson, V.[Proceedings. X International Symposium on Banana: ISHS - ProMusa Symposium on Agroecological Approaches to Promote Innovative Banana Production Systems]Proceedings. X International Symposium on Banana: ISHS - ProMusa Symposium on Agroecological Approaches to Promote Innovative Banana Production Systems

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 ...

Ramírez, J.Jarvis, A.Bergh, I. van denStaver, C.Turner, D.[Changing climates: effects on growing conditions for banana and plantain (Musa spp.) and possible responses - Chapter 20: In: Crop adaptation to climate change]Changing climates: effects on growing conditions for banana and plantain (Musa spp.) and possible responses - Chapter 20: In: Crop adaptation to climate change

The potential for bananas to produce year round is best expressed when water is abundant and daily temperatures are in the range of 20-30°C. Zones with these conditions produce fruit for the global market. However, banana production, mainly for national markets, has developed in many subtropical ...
