Tinzaara, W.Karamura, E.B.Blomme, GuyJogo, WellingtonOcimati, W.Rietveld, A.M.Kubiriba, J.Opio, F.[Why sustainable management of Xanthomonas wilt of banana in East and Central Africa has been elusive]Why sustainable management of Xanthomonas wilt of banana in East and Central Africa has been elusive

Banana is a key staple and cash crop in east and central Africa. However, the recent outbreak of Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) has threatened farmers whose livelihoods depend on the crop. Since 2002, stakeholders embarked on campaigns to sensitize farmers on the disease and its management. This s...


Jogo, WellingtonKaramura, E.B.Kubiriba, J.Tinzaara, W.Rietveld, A.M.Onyango, M.Odongo, M.[Farmers' awareness and application of banana Xanthomonas wilt control options: The case of Uganda and Kenya]Farmers' awareness and application of banana Xanthomonas wilt control options: The case of Uganda and Kenya

Crop diseases significantly suppress plant yields and in extreme cases wipe out entire crop species threatening food security and eroding rural livelihoods. It is therefore critical to estimate the extent to which shocks like disease epidemics can affect food availability and the capacity of smal...


Kikulwe, E.M.Okurut, S.Ajambo, S.Gotor, E.Ssali, R.T.Kubiriba, J.Karamura, E.B.[Does gender matter in effective management of plant disease epidemics? Insights from a survey among rural banana farming households in Uganda]Does gender matter in effective management of plant disease epidemics? Insights from a survey among rural banana farming households 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...

Early detection of Banana Xanthomonas Wilt (BXW) in the field and immediate destruction of infected plants or plant tissue are key control methods to prevent the introduction and spread of BXW. This requires rapid, cost effective and an on-site diagnostic tool t...

Fusarium wilt of bananas (Musa species) is caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc). Foc race 1 in particular affects dessert bananas in Uganda, causing >60% yield loss. This study was conducted to assess the performance of two new apple banana genotypes for bunch yield, resistance to Fo...
