Banana Xanthomonas wilt disease, caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm), is a major threat to banana production in east Africa. All cultivated varieties of banana are susceptible to Xcm and only the progenitor species Musa balbisiana was found to be resistant. The molecular basis o...

The private sector has been involved in the production and marketing of production inputs such as seeds (Premier, A1heri, UAC), fertilizers (Dangote, Golden), implements John Holt, Saulawa Machinery), agrochemicals (CAPL Rhone Total, etc.) in the state. This sector is also involved in the purchas...

The effects of a leaf spot complex (including Mycosphaerella musicola, M. fijiensis and Cladosporium musae) and leaf pruning on plant growth and yield in highland bananas were investigated in a field trial at Kawanda Agricultural Research Institute. Results from the first ratoon crop revealed tha...

The banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar), is an important pest of highland banana and plantain in Africa. It exists in low densities in its presumed area of origin in Southeast Asia. This suggests the possible existence of effective co-evolved natural enemies that might be useful in a cl...

Non-pathogenic endophytic Fusarium oxysporum inoculated into banana (Musa spp.) tissue culture plants can provide protection against banana weevils (Cosmopolites sordidus) and nematodes (Radopholus similis). The degree of control probably depends, in part, upon the level of endophyte establishmen...

Starches from mature, unripe fruit pulp of plantain cultivars (Musa supp., AAB group) representing the wide variability in Africa, tetraploid and diploid plantain hybrids and starchy cooking bananas (Musa spp., ABB group) were isolated and characterised. In general, studies revealed very compact ...

East African Highland bananas (Musa spp., AAA) also known by their vernacular name ‘matooke', are a major staple food for the densely populated high elevation regions of Eastern and Central Africa. Banana production, however, is declining due to increased pest and disease pressure. Nematodes are ...

The banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus Germar, has evaded all efforts to manage it in all banana-based cropping systems except the commercial plantation banana system, where the 2 to 3 year crop cycle and the intensity of management limit the pest survival in that system. Conversely, in backyard...

The relative contribution of ploidy status and genome composition to the variability of root traits in Musa was studied in 18 genotypes (from 5 genomic groups and 3 ploidy levels) at Onne, Nigeria. There was a significant effect of ploidy level on the different characteristics, except for root dr...
