Adaptation pattern and yield stability of banana and plantain genotypes grown in contrasting agro-ecologies in Nigeria
The evaluation of the interactions between trypanosome risk, disease control methods and the productivity require high consideration so that sustainable strategies that are best adaptable to the specific needs, constraints and opportunities of the production systems are worked out. There is no un...
