The effect of cycle on root system and shoot development was studied for two crop cycles (plant crop and first ratoon). The study revealed that shoot and root system development declined from the plant crop to the first ratoon for plants grown on degraded Ultisols in south-eastern Nigeria.

Four statistical approaches were examined for stability analysis for yield in order to determine their congruence in identification of musa genotypes. Thirty-six Musa genotypes grown in four location for two crop cycle were evaluated. The statistical methods used included Gauch’s additive main ef...

The effects of nematode infection and mulching on plantain cv. Agbagba (Musa spp., AAB-group, false horn) yield and plantation longevity were examined in a field experiment at the High Rainfall Station of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) at Onne in southeastern Nigeria. ...

Farmers, researchers, extension officers and policy makers need reliable yield data on banana (Musa spp.) to make informed decisions. There are no standard yield determination methods available for Musa research. Production patterns and types vary distinctly in time and space. This requires speci...
