Banana leaf pruning is a common practice to facilitate intercropping with legumes on farmers’ fields. It is however not clear if this practice improves farmers land-use and economic efficiency, especially after full canopy formation. To analyze pruning effects, three legumes viz. bush bean (Phase...

East African highland cooking banana (Musa spp., ‘Matooke’, AAA-EA genome) prices are sensitive to supply dynamics given their perishable nature. Despite large temporal fluctuations in farm-gate prices and food security, no efforts have been made to shift banana production towards periods of high...

The phenology of East African highland banana (Musa acuminata AAA-EA, hereafter referred to as ‘high-land banana’) is poorly understood. We tested three hypotheses: (1) the physiological age at floweringis independent of site effects, (2) there is no difference in threshold size at flowering betw...

Drought stress, potassium (K) and nitrogen (N) deficiencies are major constraints to rain-fed East African highland banana (EAHB) production in Uganda. It was hypothesised that the reduction in fresh bunch mass and increase in dry matter (DM) allocation to corms with drought stress, K and N defic...

Poor yields of East African highland bananas (Musa spp., AAA-EAHB) on smallholder farms have often been attributed to problems of poor soil fertility. We measured the effects of mineral fertilizers on crop performance at two sites over two to three crop cycles; Kawanda in central Uganda and Ntung...
