Major constraints to banana (Musa spp., genome group AAA) production, a dietary staple for over 70 million people in sub-Saharan Africa, are pest infestations, poor nutrition and inadequate water. Although mulch can improve soil water and nutrient status, many farmers believe it also promotes the...

East African highland cooking bananas (Musa spp., AAA) are one of the most important staples in the Great Lakes region of Africa. It has been hypothesized that land use intensification within the region has led to decline in soil fertility, increased pest pressure, and decline in production. To d...

This paper reports results from a 6-year long-term fertilizer X banana weevil trial for highland banana in Mbarara, Uganda. The objective of the study was to quantify the effect of mineral fertiliser (100 kg N, 50 kg P, and 100 kg K ha -1 yr-1) on crop and economic performance and weevil pest sta...
