Localisé entre le Mozambique et Madagascar, l’Union des Comores est un des pays les plus pauvres du monde. Sa très forte dépendance au secteur agricole couplée avec une densité de population élevée et d’un manque de gouvernance a conduit le pays vers une mauvaise gestion des ressources naturelles...

Edible bananas result from interspecific hybridization between Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana, as well as among subspecies in M. acuminata. Four particular M. acuminata subspecies have been proposed as the main contributors of edible bananas, all of which radiated in a short period of time in...

Although the share of global population affected by hunger significantly reduced from 60% to 15% during the past five decades, about 795 million people are still chronically undernourished. The majority of those affected are mostly from developing countries – notably in sub-Saharan Africa. This c...

Perennial horticultural crop production is sensitive to temperature, water availability, solar radiation, air pollution, and CO2. The value of perennial horticultural crops is derived from not only the quantity but also the quality of the harvested product. Perennial crop production is not easily...

Banana (Musa spp.) is an important perennial crop in tropical countries. Testing improved germplasm and/or agronomic practices to increase productivity requires accuracy and precision. The objectives of this study were to determine the optimum plot size (i.e., number of plants per experimental pl...

Cultivated plantains and bananas (Musa spp.) are important staple crops in the humid forest and midaltitude ecologies of sub-Saharan Africa. Their water requirement is relatively high and they are very sensitive to dry soil conditions, which greatly limits their range of cultivation. While long-t...

A multilocational evaluation trial comprising 18 Musa genotypes was carried out from 1991to1994 in three respective locations in Humid Forest (Onne, Nigeria and M' Balmayo, Cameroon) and the Forest- Savanna Transition (Ibadan, Nigeria) zones of West and Central Africa.
