This study examined the potential of somaclonal variation for the improvement of plantain. Approximately 500 somaclones each of ‘Agbagba’ (False Horn plantain) and ‘Bise Egome’ (French plantain) were field evaluated for their agronomic performance and response to the black Sigatoka disease. The m...

The magnitude of genetic expression and associations among traits are important for the prediction of response to selection in diverse environments and provide the basis for planning and evaluating breeding programs. In this regard, a cross classification mating design was used to produce hybrid ...

Multilocation evaluation trials (MET) constitute an important step in the evaluation of breeding lines, in order to assess their adaptation and stability patterns across environments, and to ensure optimal targeting of the lines. Seven Musa genotypes comprising five plantain hybrids, one cooking ...

The harvest index (HI), which is the ratio of the economic yield to the aboveground plant biomass, is an important trait to assess progress in improving yield potential. Therefore, a study was carried out to examine the assimilate partitioning of nine Musa hybrids along with a local check for two...

Multiple correlation of phenological and yield traits of the plant crop (PC) with those of the first ratoon crop (RC) of 36 Musa genotypes was carried out. The genotypes were landraces (triploid) belonging to AAA, AAB and ABB Musa genomic groups and hybrids (mostly tetraploid) thereof. The plants...

A field experiment was conducted on thirteen (13) Musa hybrids derived from 4n x 2n crosses, three (3) checks and two (2) plantain landraces to evaluate phenology, growth characteristics and yield performance in a humid agro ecological zone of Nigeria. Fifteen (15) phenotypic characters were sign...

The effects of nematode infection and mulching on plantain cv. Agbagba (Musa spp., AAB-group, false horn) yield and plantation longevity were examined in a field experiment at the High Rainfall Station of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) at Onne in southeastern Nigeria. ...
