This study investigated the utility of inoculation of in vitro plantlets in tubes and detached leaves as reliable and rapid assays for screening Musa genotypes against Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak. In the first part of the study, three types of inocula were eval...

Banana and plantain (ban+plant) play a substantial role in people’s diet in Cameroon. A survey was carried out in 240 households in four localities to determine the daily consumption of (ban+plant)-derived foods and the contribution of these foods to iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and vitamin A intake by c...

Conventional evaluation of Musa through multilocation trials has often been carried out to ascertain the yield stability and ecological range of new varieties but, for prospective growers, it is equally important to know the fruit characteristics and ripening pattern of the genotypes. Indeed, fru...

Introduction. A comparative study of antinutrients and heavy metals in the peels of five improved varieties of plantain and banana hybrids was investigated. Our aim was to provide information on plantain and banana peels that may circumvent huge losses during fruit processing by converting waste ...

We conducted two main surveys in 29 sites within the five antennae of the Cameroon National Program for Roots and Tubers Development (PNDRT), to assess potential changes triggered by the introduction of improved varieties on cassavadisease status. Standard methods were used to evaluate diseases i...

Fruit size is an important commercial characteristic for markets specializing in plantains. Bunch pruning and appropriate soil fertility management are measures adopted to improve the fruit size of Musacrops in many countries. This study investigated the combined effects of poultry manure and bun...

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 ...
