Over the past three decades, more than 40 banana cultivars have been introduced in eastern and southern Africa for evaluation and dissemination to smallholder farmers facing banana productivity challenges. This study analyses the seed systems used to avail the genotypes to the target users, discu...

Introduced banana hybrids in Africa: seed systems, farmers' experiences and consumers' perspectives
The banana bacterial wilt caused by the Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) is one of the major constraints to banana production in Uganda. Field observations suggest that the primary means of disease spread is by insect transmission through the male flowers. This study carried out an inv...

An optimal control framework is designed inwhich the use of clean plantingmaterials, debudding, disinfection of tools, and roguing
are considered as control measures of Banana Xanthomonas Wilt (BXW) within a plantation of multiple cultivars. A model for a
special case of two cultivars (AAA- and A...

Banana xanthomonas wilt (BXW) remains a major threat to banana, an important food and income crop for 12 million poor small-holder farmers in Uganda. Although, BXW has been controlled to some extent in parts of South-western Uganda, it is still a big problem in banana growing areas of Central and...

Fine-tuning banana Xanthomonas wilt control options over the past decade in East and Central Africa
Banana is a key crop in the livelihoods of many people in the Great Lakes region of East and Central Africa. For more than a decade now, the crop has been threatened by Banana Xanthomonas Wilt (BXW) which has spread throughout the region but at different rates. The disease attacks all banana cult...
