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...

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 ...

The banana Xanthomonas wilt epidemic in east and central Africa: current research and development efforts
Vegetatively propagated crops, suffer from yield loss and reduced stand density and longevity caused by the buildup of certain pests and pathogens between successive plantings via via infected planting material. We reviewed six seed‐borne phytosanitary problems to evaluate whether a seed degenera...

Banana production landscapes in the African Great Lakes Region (AGLR) have been under immense pressure from Xanthomonas wilt (XW) disease over the past two decades. XW, first reported on banana in central Uganda and eastern DR Congo in 2001, has since spread to the entire AGLR. XW is currently sp...

Insect vectors of Xanthomonas campestris pv musacearum (Xcm) have played a major role
in long distance and plant to plant transmission of Xanthomonas wilt of banana (XW). The
prevalence of insects has been reported to vary in space and time. Some banana cultivars have
also been reported to attrac...
