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...

A field experiment was established in the humid forest of southeastern Nigeria to assess host plant response to nematodes. Fifteen plantain and banana polyploid cultivars (landraces and hybrids) were tested in nematode-infested and non-infested fields on both plant and ratoon crops. The main nema...

The cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) is one of the major pests of okra. Eleven okra varieties collected from farmers’ fields in
Cameroon and four aphid-resistant accessions from The World Vegetable Center (AVRDC, Asian Vegetable Research and
Development Center) were evaluated from October 2012 to Ma...

The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is a serious threat to sustainable banana production worldwide. A promising way of controlling nematodes is through the development and deployment of resistant cultivars. This usually involves crossing triploid cultivars with fertile diploids to produce...
