Radopholus similis, Helicotylenchus multicinctus and Meloidogyne spp. are among the major nematode pests of banana worldwide. Nematode management through exploitation of genetic sources of resistance is widely encouraged, especially in resource poor countries. A number of hybrids have been develo...

Evaluation of East African highland banana land races and hybrids for resistance to banana nematodes in semiarid Uganda
The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is a serious threat to sustainable banana production worldwide. A promising method for nematode control is the development and deployment of nematode-resistant banana cultivars. This requires the identification of sources of resistance, which can then b...

Radopholus similis is responsible for huge production losses of banana in Uganda, where a large proportion of the population are reliant on cooking banana as their main staple crop. Assessment of the pathogenic and genetic variability of seven populations of R. similis originating from banana pla...

We studied the effect of treating banana and plantain (Musa spp.) suckers using boiling water for the generation of healthy planting material. Small, medium and large-sized suckers of two East African highland bananas (cvs. Mbwazirume, Kibuzi, AAA-EA) and one of plantain (cv. Agbagba, AAB) were d...
