Plantain and banana (Musa spp) breeding involves crossing 3x (triploid) landraces to 2x (diploid) accessions as female and male parents, respectively, selecting 4x (tetraploid) and 2x primary hybrids from the 3x - 2x progenies, and crossing 4x - 2x hybrids to produce secondary 3x hybrids. In thes...
The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is a serious threat to sustainable banana production worldwide. A promising method for nematode control is the development and deployment of nematode-resistant banana cultivars. This requires the identification of sources of resistance, which can then b...

The present study aimed at determining the iron, zinc and β-carotene contents of the plantain-based foods commonly consumed in Southern Nigeria to assess the quantitative contribution of plantain consumption in meeting iron, zinc and vitamin A requirements of both children and their mothers. A su...

High yielding and disease resistant plantain and banana hybrids and its associated technologies generated by IITA to combat the menace of black Sigatoka disease (Mycosphaerella fijiensis) were massively disseminated in year 2000. Since the hybrids were slightly different from the existing varieti...

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 correct placement of fertilizer materials has a major effect on quantity of nutrient available for plant use and quantity lost through erosion and leaching. Thus, the effects of manure placement on whole-plant dry matter production and growth analysis traits were studied in a screen-house. Th...
