The effects of Radopholus similis and Pratylenchus goodeyi on growth, root health and yield of the East African highland cooking banana cultivar Mbwazirume (Musa AAA-group) were compared at Mbarara, Uganda, at 1430 m above sea level. In 3-year-old mats infected only with P. goodeyi, functional ro...

The banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) is an important pest on bananas and plantains (Musa spp.). Population build-up is slow and weevil problems become increasingly important in successive crop cycles (ratoons). Yield loss results from plant loss (death, snapping, toppling), mat disapp...

The banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar), is a nocturnal insect that is not readily observed in banana fields. Knowledge on its distribution is essential for the design of management strategies that target the adult stage. Marked weevils were released into seven-year-old banana plots. Te...

Removal and destruction of banana crop residues after harvest has been widely recommended for the control of banana weevil, cosmopolites sordidus control. However, there is scanty information of the actual effect of this practice on the banana weevil populations and damage. This study aimed at in...

The use of mutualistic fungal endophytes to control the banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) and banana parasitic nematodes (Radopholus similis, Pratylenchus goodeyi and Helicotylenchus multicinctus) is currently being investigated at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture. Fungal e...

The optimum sample size for assessment of nematode densities and related damage in East African highland banana was estimated at Kikoni parish in Ntungamo district, Uganda. Kikoni parish is at an elevation ranging from 1360 to 1480 meters above sea level and the East African highland banana (Musa...

This paper reports results from a 6-year long-term fertilizer X banana weevil trial for highland banana in Mbarara, Uganda. The objective of the study was to quantify the effect of mineral fertiliser (100 kg N, 50 kg P, and 100 kg K ha -1 yr-1) on crop and economic performance and weevil pest sta...

The banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar), is an important pest of highland banana and plantain in Africa. It exists in low densities in its presumed area of origin in Southeast Asia. This suggests the possible existence of effective co-evolved natural enemies that might be useful in a cl...
