Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is widespread in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Unlike in developed countries, where the main source of vitamin A comes from meat, the diet of poor populations in SSA is largely plant based. It is thus important to identify local / popular plants with higher vitamin A conten...

Xanthomonas wilt, caused by Xanthomonascampestris pv. musacearum has, since 2001, becomethe most important and widespread disease of Musa inEast and Central Africa. Over the past decade, newresearch findings and especially feedback from smallscalefarmers have helped in fine-tuning Xanthomonaswilt...

Xanthomonas wilt is currently the major biotic threat to banana production in East and Central Africa (ECA). The recommended management options for the disease include destruction of infected plants, disinfecting tools used in the plantation, using clean planting materials, early removal of male ...

Studies on the influence of environmental conditions on Musa plant growth have predominantly focused on dessert bananas (Musa AAA group). The effect of location, field within location and planting date on shoot and root traits of field-grown flowering plants of 6 Musa spp. genotypes belonging to ...

The relative contribution of ploidy status and genome composition to the variability of root traits in Musa was studied in 18 genotypes (from 5 genomic groups and 3 ploidy levels) at Onne, Nigeria. There was a significant effect of ploidy level on the different characteristics, except for root dr...

The effect of cycle on root system and shoot development was studied for two crop cycles (plant crop and first ratoon). The study revealed that shoot and root system development declined from the plant crop to the first ratoon for plants grown on degraded Ultisols in south-eastern Nigeria.

El efecto cíclico en el sistema radical y en el desarrollo de otras partes de la planta fue estudiado durante dos ciclos de producción (siembra y primer renuevo). El estudio reveló que el desarrollo del sistema radical y otras partes de la planta declinó desde el momento de la siembra hasta el pr...
