Plantain (Musa spp.) is highly susceptible to root nematodes (Radopholussimiles) and fungal diseases of the leaves, causing yield losses in the vicinity of 50%.‘FHIA 21’ (AAB genome) is a plantain hybrid with good tolerance to pests anddiseases, excellent palatability and a high level of acceptan...

Black leaf streak disease (BLSD) affects both bananas and plantains. Anecdotal evidence suggests that when plantain is grown under shade in agroforestry systems, there is less damage from BLSD. In this study, BLSD severity and agronomic fruit characteristics of plantain were compared under high a...

Cacao is an important smallholder crop in West Africa, often grown under a forest canopy. Yields from cacao farms are low so farmers consider removing shade trees, however, the impacts on pest and disease dynamics, soil fertility and thus yield in the longer term are not understood. We estimated ...
