Dubois, T.Coyne, D.L.[Banana tissue culture: community dissemination pathways for delivery of high quality planting material to create markets for African farmers]Banana tissue culture: community dissemination pathways for delivery of high quality planting material to create markets for African farmers

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...


Dubois, T.Coyne, D.L.Kahangi, E.Turoop, L.Nsubuga, E.[Endophyte enhanced banana tissue culture: technology transfer through publicprivate partnerships in Kenya and Uganda]Endophyte enhanced banana tissue culture: technology transfer through publicprivate partnerships in Kenya and Uganda

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...


Akello, J.Dubois, T.Gold, C.S.Coyne, D.L.Nakavuma, J.Paparu, P.[Beauveria bassiana (balsamo) vuillemin as an endophyte in tissue 3 culture banana (Musa spp.)]Beauveria bassiana (balsamo) vuillemin as an endophyte in tissue 3 culture banana (Musa spp.)

The use of tissue culture (TC) banana (Musa spp.) planting material is an effective method of providing pest and disease-free plants. Although there are many added benefits to using TC plants, the adoption of TC technology remains relatively low in East Africa. Currently, adoption is increasing u...


Dubois, T.Dusabe, Y.Lule, M.Asten, Piet J.A. vanCoyne, D.L.Hobayo, J.C.Nkurunziza, S.Ouma, Emily A.Kabunga, N.Qaim, M.Kahangi, E.Mwirigi, P.Mwaura, P.Kisii, D.Kizito, H.Mugisha, J.[Tissue culture banana (Musa spp.) for smallholder farmers: lessons learnt from East Africa]Tissue culture banana (Musa spp.) for smallholder farmers: lessons learnt from East Africa

Endophytic colonization by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum can result in increased host resistance topests and diseases, and greater biomass production. However, few studies have assessed the field performanceof this fungus for biological control of pests and diseases in banana. Further to greenhou...


Waweru, B.W.Turoop, L.Kahangi, E.Coyne, D.L.Dubois, T.[Nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum endophytes provide field control of nematodes, improving yield of banana (Musa sp.)]Nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum endophytes provide field control of nematodes, improving yield of banana (Musa sp.)

Beauveria bassiana, which is effective against a range of insect pests, is the most researched and commercialised fungal biopesticide. Laboratory and screenhouse studies have revealed that this entomopathogenic fungus has great potential for use against the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus. H...
