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...

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...

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...
