Plantains (Musa spp., AAB group) are an important food crop in the humid lowlands of sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the relationships between growth characteristics and yield potential (t ha-1 yr-1) would be useful in developing an ideotype to guide breeding efforts for this crop. We investiga...
Plantain and banana are important food crops in the humid zone of sub-saharan Africa. A major problem of plantain and banana is that the fruits are highly perishable. Researchers, therefore, look for ways to extend storage life. Several methods can be used to extend storage life. The most importa...

Standard methods are needed to collect data to evaluate the performance of agricultural systems. Standardization allows comparisons across systems, and potentially the extrapolation of recommendations to similar development domains. The Integrated Modelling Platform for Mixed Animal Crop Systems ...
