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 ...

The banana Xanthomonas wilt epidemic in east and central Africa: current research and development efforts
Crop landraces (largely resulting from adaptation and continuous selection by farmers) are more diverse within field populations than modern cultivars (produced by deliberate crossing), yet their distribution has continued to shrink in the past decades. The temporal dynamics of this shrinking is ...

Genotyping the local banana landrace groups of East Africa
Over the past three decades, more than 40 banana cultivars have been introduced in eastern and southern Africa for evaluation and dissemination to smallholder farmers facing banana productivity challenges. This study analyses the seed systems used to avail the genotypes to the target users, discu...
