Data are presented on the incidence and severity of (black and yellow) sigatoka leaf spots and Cladosporium freckle in different ecological zones of Uganda. Black sigatoka has become widespread since its arrival in Uganda in 1988. Sigatoka leaf spots were most severe in mid-elevation zones of cen...

Developemental threshold and thermal requirements for eggs of banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus Germar, were determined under laboratory conditions at constant temperatures of 15,18,25,27,30,32 and 34 °C and a photoperiod of 12:12 L/D. The duration of the egg stage decreased from 34.9 days at ...

The effect of covering post-harvest banana stumps with soil on banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) oviposition levels was investigated at three locations, Sendusu, Kawanda Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) and Ntungamo district of southwestern Uganda. In the first experiment oviposi...

Banana (Musa spp.) is a vegatatively propagated crop and the type of planting material is of great importancefor the productivity of banana plantations. Traditionally, sucker derived planting materials havebeen used to establish banana plantations but there is a risk of transmitting pests such as...

Twenty five sites, representative of seven agro-ecological zones of enset (Ensete ventricosum) crops, were sampled between September 1998 and January 1999. At each site, five 1-2 year old enset plants were sampled to check for the presence of nematodes present in their roots. The predominant nema...

East African highland cooking bananas (Musa spp., AAA) are one of the most important staples in the Great Lakes region of Africa. It has been hypothesized that land use intensification within the region has led to decline in soil fertility, increased pest pressure, and decline in production. To d...

Among the major constriats to highland cooking banana (Musa spp. AAA-EA) production in Uganda is the high pests infestation levels. Most important are the banana weevil cosmopolites sordidus and a complex of plant parasitic root nematodes of which Radopholus similis is the most important. Clean p...
