New varieties are often developed on research stations with limited farmer involvement until the final stages of testing. Recently, farmer participatory approaches have been employed to include farmers' input into breeding objectives at much earlier stages of varietal development. This paper repo...

Selection criteria of Musa cultivars as determined through a farmer participatory appraisal survey in Uganda
All the edible AA varieties studied here are genetically homogeneous, constituting a unique subgroup,
here called ‘Mchare’, despite high phenotypic variation and adaptions to highly diverse ecological zones.
At triploid level, and besides the well-known AAA Mutika subgroup, at least two other gen...

Managing banana genetic resources and genomic information with the triplet Drupal/Tripal/Chado
Postharvest losses (PHL) destroy 20-60% of the food production in East Africa, exacerbating already severe regional food insecurity. Fermenting perishable foods such as fruits may reduce PHL while providing nutritional enrichment, improving shelf-life and food quality, and addressing seasonality ...

As a result of declining farm/plot size and increasing food security needs, intercropping is practised by the majority of small-scale farmers in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. A banana-1egume intercropping experiment was conducted at the Mulungu Research Station in South Kivu Province to e...

A study of the effect of plant population, fertiliser application, number of suckers retained per stool and desuckering time on the 5th and 6th banana ratoons was conducted on Kibuzi (AAA-EA) plantation from October 2000 to December 2002. The plantation had earlier (October 1999 to October 2000) ...
