Banana-bean intercropping systems are used by many small-scale farmers in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to maximize land use and intensify crop production. A study was conducted at the INERA Mulungu research station to determine the effect of banana leaf pruning on banana (Musa spp.) and b...

Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV; family Nanoviridae, genus Babuvirus) is a multi-component single-stranded DNA virus, which infects banana plants in many regions of the world, often resulting in large-scale crop losses. We analyzed 171 banana leaf samples from fourteen countries and recovered, clon...

As a result of declining farm/plot size and increasing food security needs, intercropping is practised by the majority of small-scale farmers in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. A banana-1egume intercropping experiment was conducted at the Mulungu Research Station in South Kivu Province to e...
