Insects are a major mode of banana Xanthomonas wilt (XW) spread. High insect activity has been blamed for the high XW incidence in ‘Kayinja’ (ABB-genome) dominated banana landscapes across east and central Africa. ‘Kayinja’ male bud nectar composition reportedly contributes to high insect activit...

The root system development of 11 genotypes from six diverse Musa groups was studied in detail at IITA High Rainfall Station (Onne, southeastern Nigeria). Plantain hybrids (TMPx 548-9, TMPx 1658-4) were compared with their maternal French plantain landrace (Obino l' Ewai) and their paternal diplo...

This study assessed the on-farm Musa germplasm diversity across different agro-ecologies of Rwanda and the socio-economic utilization options and selection practices that create/maintain this diversity on-farm. Methodology and results: A Musa germplasm diagnostic survey was carried out in 2007 in...
