Controlled studies to determine the efficacy of pseudostem trapping in reducing adult populations of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar), were conducted under farmer conditions in Ntungamo district, Uganda. Twenty-seven farms were stratified on the basis of C. sordidus population de...

A field study was undertaken in Uganda using highland cooking banana (cv. Atwalira) to test the hypothesis that bananas grown under stressed conditions are more susceptible to attack by Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar). Four banana treatments were employed to create different levels of host-plant v...

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...

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...

Crop sanitation, i.e. destruction of crop residues, has been hypothesized to lower banana weevil damage by removing adult refuges and breeding sites. Although it has been widely recommended to farmers, limited data are available to demonstrate the efficacy of this method. The effects ...

Between 1970 and 1990, highland green cooking banana production rapidly declined in the traditional growing areas in the central region, while during the same period banana production expanded in the country's southwest. Thus, Kampala's growing urban market for banana became dependent upon new gr...

Yield loss in highland banana caused by the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, was studied in field trials in Uganda. Weevils were released at the base of banana mats 9 months after planting. Weevil populations, corm damage, plant growth and yield were assessed over four crop cycles. The effec...
