Major constraints to banana (Musa spp., genome group AAA) production, a dietary staple for over 70 million people in sub-Saharan Africa, are pest infestations, poor nutrition and inadequate water. Although mulch can improve soil water and nutrient status, many farmers believe it also promotes the...

Timing and distribution of attack on East African highland banana (Musa AAA- EA) by the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar), (Coleoptera: Curculion- idae) was studied in a field trial at a farm 25 km NE of Kampala, Uganda. Weevils were released at three densities (5, 20 and 40 females p...

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...

Banana (Musa AAA) and plantain (Musa AAB) are important dietary staples for over 70 million people in sub-Saharan Africa. Banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) and nematodes (Radopholus similis, Helicotylenchus multicinctus) are often the largest constraints to production. Leguminous crops in the...
