Banana-legume intercropping systems are commonly practiced in the highland zones of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to maximize land use and intensify crop production. However, banana leaves are pruned during legume intercropping to improve sunlight penetration for the legume. On-farm ex...

Understanding banana bunchy top disease epidemiology in Burundi for an enhanced and integrated management approach
La maladie du Bunchy top du bananier (BBTD) causée par le virus du Bunchy top du bananier (BBTV, genre Babuvirus, famille Nanoviridae) rend les plantes infectées improductives et finalement les tue. La BBTD se propage dans de nouveaux champs via le matériel à planter infecté et le puceron du bana...

Banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) caused by the Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV, genus Babuvirus, family Nanoviridae) renders plants unproductive and eventually kills affected plants. BBTD spreads into new fields along with infected planting material and through the banana aphid, Pentalonia nigroner...

Workshop report: strategic planning workshop on recovering Banana production in BBTD affected areas: community and farm household approaches
Banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) was first identified in DR Congo in 1958. Previously, the disease’s distribution throughout the Congo basin had not been studied, so an initial study, to determine the incidence and severity of BBTD in banana and plantain producing regions of Oriental province, wa...
