The lack of clean planting material is a major constraint for banana production in East and Central Africa. When establishing new fields, tissue culture plantlets will reduce damage by banana pests and diseases. Pest infestation or reinfestation, however, remains a vital concern. Fungal endophyte...

In 1990, observations were made on the nematode species profile on bananas in Oyugis district, Kenya. The country-wide survey was conducted in 1993 across 13 primary Musa growing districts. Observations were made on banana cultivars Nakyetengu (AAA) and Sukali Ndizi (AB). Considerable variation i...

Beauveria bassiana is considered a virulent pathogen against the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus. However, current field application techniques for effective control against this pest remain a limitation and an alternative method for effective field application needs to be investigated. Three...

Crop growth and damage parameters (plant growth and yield, root damage and nematode population densities), believed to be associated with resistance of Musa genotypes to nematodes under field conditions, were evaluated in a field trial of 24 Musa genotypes inoculated at planting with a combinatio...

Improvement of banana for smallholder farmers in the Great Lakes Region of Africa This unique project seeks to improve the production and productivity of banana in Tanzania and Uganda, through the development of hybrid banana varieties that are expected to have 30% higher yield compared to the cu...

Endophytic fungi colonize most plants, causing no damage to their hosts, and often extending benefits, such as enhanced protection against various biotic and abiotic constraints. In the current study, three experiments assessed the activity of secondary metabolites of three strains of endophytic ...
