Kahangi, E.Turoop, L.Dubois, T.Coyne, D.L.Wainwright, H.Mongi, H.O.[Bio-enhanced seeds and seedlings for East Africa]Bio-enhanced seeds and seedlings for East Africa

The distribution of contaminated planting material (suckers) remains a major cause of spread of pests and diseases in banana. A traditional subsistence staple in East Africa, banana is becoming increasingly a commercialized commodity in the region. Essential for effective commercialization of thi...


Bauer, V.Burkart, StefanAbele, S.Kahangi, E.Dubois, T.Coyne, D.L.Hoffmann, V.[Financing, handling, hardening and marketing of tissue culturederived planting material through nurseries: the case of banana and plantain in Kenya, Uganda and Burundi]Financing, handling, hardening and marketing of tissue culturederived planting material through nurseries: the case of banana and plantain in Kenya, Uganda and Burundi

The lack of clean planting material is a major constraint for banana production in East and Central Africa. When establishing new fields, tissue culture plantlets will reduce damage by banana pests and diseases. Pest infestation or reinfestation, however, remains a vital concern. Fungal endophyte...


Dubois, T.Coyne, D.L.Kahangi, E.Turoop, L.Nsubuga, E.[Endophyte enhanced banana tissue culture: technology transfer through publicprivate partnerships in Kenya and Uganda]Endophyte enhanced banana tissue culture: technology transfer through publicprivate partnerships in Kenya and Uganda

The use of tissue culture (TC) banana (Musa spp.) planting material is an effective method of providing pest and disease-free plants. Although there are many added benefits to using TC plants, the adoption of TC technology remains relatively low in East Africa. Currently, adoption is increasing u...


Dubois, T.Dusabe, Y.Lule, M.Asten, Piet J.A. vanCoyne, D.L.Hobayo, J.C.Nkurunziza, S.Ouma, Emily A.Kabunga, N.Qaim, M.Kahangi, E.Mwirigi, P.Mwaura, P.Kisii, D.Kizito, H.Mugisha, J.[Tissue culture banana (Musa spp.) for smallholder farmers: lessons learnt from East Africa]Tissue culture banana (Musa spp.) for smallholder farmers: lessons learnt from East Africa

Endophytic colonization by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum can result in increased host resistance topests and diseases, and greater biomass production. However, few studies have assessed the field performanceof this fungus for biological control of pests and diseases in banana. Further to greenhou...


Waweru, B.W.Turoop, L.Kahangi, E.Coyne, D.L.Dubois, T.[Nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum endophytes provide field control of nematodes, improving yield of banana (Musa sp.)]Nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum endophytes provide field control of nematodes, improving yield of banana (Musa sp.)

The root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus goodeyi is a common pest of banana in Kenya, which results in significant yield losses. An emerging option for the management of banana nematodes includes the use of endophytic fungi, which cause no damage to their hosts but often extend benefits, such as enh...


Waweru, B.W.Losenge, T.Kahangi, E.Dubois, T.Coyne, D.L.[Potential biological control of lesion nematodes on banana using Kenyan strains of endophytic Fusarium oxysporum]Potential biological control of lesion nematodes on banana using Kenyan strains of endophytic Fusarium oxysporum

Three bioassays were conducted to investigate the antagonistic effect of secondary metabolites produced by 5 endophytic Fusarium oxysporum isolates from banana (Musa spp.) plants in Kenya, against Pratylenchus goodeyi. Percentage paralyses were recorded 3, 6 and 24 h after exposure to culture fil...


Mwaura, P.Dubois, T.Losenge, T.Coyne, D.L.Kahangi, E.[Effect of endophytic Fusarium oxysporum on paralysis and mortality of Pratylenchus goodeyi]Effect of endophytic Fusarium oxysporum on paralysis and mortality of Pratylenchus goodeyi
