Micropropagated plants of 36 Musa genotypes with diverse genetic backgrounds, including 14 tetraploid plantain (TMPx) and banana (TMBx) hybrids, were evaluated for their response to banana streak badnavirus (BSV) infection under three environments from 1995 to 1997 in Nigeria. The characteristics...

The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model was used to evaluate the stability patterns of 36 Musa genotypes in four cropping environments for bunch weight, pulp weight, and dry matter content. Alleycropping generally induced higher means for all traits than did sole cro...

Deforestation in the humid tropics poses an increasing threat to natural forests and future timber supplies. Smallholder slash and burn farming and timber extraction are the major causes of deforestation in the Congo basin. Therefore, the feasibility of an alternative to slash and burn, the combi...

Plantains and bananas are economically important crops in many African countries where they are cultivated in compound gardens by small holders primarily for domestic consumption. These subsistence farmers generally believe that the cultural practice of removing the male buds from bearing banana ...

Quantitative colour variability and micronutrient content of new plantain and banana hybrids flour was investigated. The mean flour colour of the cultivars ranges from 12.16 for BITA 3 to 18.52 for FHIA 23, which is an indication of varying degree of yellowness. Both FHIA 23 and PITA 17 had colou...

Pests and diseases have become major constraints to smallholder banana production in the highlands of East Africa. Biotic challenges to banana cultivation include fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes and insects. Host-plant resistance, developed either by conventional breeding or by application of...
