Ssebulime, G.Nyombi, K.Kagezi, G.H.Mpiira, S.Byabagambi, S.Tushemereirwe, W.K.Kubiriba, J.Karamura, E.B.Staver, C.[Canopy management, leaf fall and litter quality of dominant tree species in the banana agroforestry system in Uganda]Canopy management, leaf fall and litter quality of dominant tree species in the banana agroforestry system in Uganda

Banana (Musa spp.) is the most important food crop in Uganda as indicated by consumption rate, annual production (9.5 M t ha-1) and agricultural land committed to the crop. This level of productivity (6.3 t ha-1 yr-1) is extremely low when compared to the yields obtained on station and well-manag...

Xanthomonas wilt, caused by Xanthomonascampestris pv. musacearum has, since 2001, becomethe most important and widespread disease of Musa inEast and Central Africa. Over the past decade, newresearch findings and especially feedback from smallscalefarmers have helped in fine-tuning Xanthomonaswilt...


Blomme, GuyJacobsen, K.Ocimati, W.Beed, Fen D.Ntamwira, J.Sivirihauma, C.Ssekiwoko, F.Nakato, V.Kubiriba, J.Tripathi, L.Tinzaara, W.Mbolela, F.Lutete, L.Karamura, E.B.[Finetuning banana Xanthomonas wilt control options over the past decade in East and Central Africa]Finetuning banana Xanthomonas wilt control options over the past decade in East and Central Africa

Xanthomonas wilt is currently the major biotic threat to banana production in East and Central Africa (ECA). The recommended management options for the disease include destruction of infected plants, disinfecting tools used in the plantation, using clean planting materials, early removal of male ...

Xanthomonas vasicola p.v. mucasearum (Xvm) is the causal agent of banana bacterial wilt which is currently constraining banana production in Eastern Africa. One mode of transmission is by insect vectors and studies in Uganda have shown that drosophilids, honey and stingless bees are of particular...

Banana is an important staple food crop feeding more than 100 million Africans, but is subject to severe productivity constraints due to a range of pests and diseases. Banana Xanthomonas wilt caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum is capable of entirely destroying a plantation while nema...


Tripathi, L.Atkinson, H.Roderick, H.Kubiriba, J.Tripathi, J.N.[Genetically engineered bananas resistant to Xanthomonas wilt disease and nematodes]Genetically engineered bananas resistant to Xanthomonas wilt disease and nematodes

Pseudocercospora fijiensis, causal agent of the black Sigatoka disease (BSD) of Musa spp., has spread globally since its discovery in Fiji 1963 to all the banana and plantain growing areas across the globe. It is becoming the most damaging and economically important disease of this crop. The iden...

Banana germplasm collections serves as a source of useful genes for banana breeding. However, insufficient and/or inaccurate information on the ploidy level of the germplasm renders its utilization in breeding difficult. The objective of this study was to determine and validate the ploidy level o...
