Blomme, GuyOcimati, W.Groot, Jeroen C.J.Ntamwira, J.Bahati, L.Kantungeko, D.Remans, R.Tittonell, Pablo A.[Agroecological integration of shade-and drought-tolerant food/feed crops for year round productivity in banana-based systems under rain-fed conditions in Central Africa]Agroecological integration of shade-and drought-tolerant food/feed crops for year round productivity in banana-based systems under rain-fed conditions in Central Africa

This study assessed the effect of altitude on growth and yield of five commonly grown plantain (Musa, AAB) cultivars at four sites, Mavivi (1,066 m a.s.l.), Maboya (1,412 m a.s.l.), Butembo (1,815 m a.s.l.) and Ndihira (2,172 m a.s.l.) in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo. The cultivars in...


Sivirihauma, C.Blomme, GuyOcimati, W.Vutseme, L.Sikyolo, I.Valimuzigha, K.Langhe, E. deTurner, D.W.[Altitude effect on plantain growth and yield during four production cycles in North Kivu, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo]Altitude effect on plantain growth and yield during four production cycles in North Kivu, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

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 ...

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...


Rutikanga, A.Night, G.Tusiime, GeoffreyOcimati, W.Blomme, Guy[Spatial and temporal distribution of insect vectors of Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum and their activity across banana cultivars grown in Rwanda.]Spatial and temporal distribution of insect vectors of Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum and their activity across banana cultivars grown in Rwanda.

A Musa germplasm diagnostic study assessed on-farm Musa diversity and farmer selection criteria in different altitudes of North Kivu (NK) and South Kivu (SK) in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, an important zone of secondary diversification of plantains (AAB genome) and East African highland...


Ocimati, W.Karamura, D.Sivirihauma, C.Ndungo, V.Langhe, E. deAdheka, J.Dheda Djailo, B.Ntamwira, J.Muhindo, H.Ragama, P.E.Blomme, Guy[On-farm banana (Musa) cultivar diversity status across different altitudes in North and South Kivu provinces of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo]On-farm banana (Musa) cultivar diversity status across different altitudes in North and South Kivu provinces of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

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 ...


Karamura, D.Kitavi, M.Nyine, M.Ochola, D.Ocimati, W.Muhangi, S.Talengera, D.Karamura, E.B.[Genotyping the local banana landrace groups of East Africa]Genotyping the local banana landrace groups of East Africa

RNA interference (RNAi) is a natural defense mechanism triggered by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) for protection of cells against foreign parasitic nucleic acids. The RNase III enzyme Dicer processes dsRNAs into short small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that degrade the specific mRNA. RNAi has been dem...


Ocimati, W.Kiggundu, A.Bailey, A.Niblett, C.L.Pedun, H.Tazuba, A.F.Tushemereirwe, W.K.Karamura, E.B.[Suppression of the ubiquitin E2 gene through RNA interference causes mortality in the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar)]Suppression of the ubiquitin E2 gene through RNA interference causes mortality in the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar)

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...
