The global yield of bananas, one of the most important food crops is severely hampered by parasites, such as nematodes, which cause yield losses up to 75%. Plant nematode interactions of two banana cultivars differing in susceptibility to Radopholus similis were investigated by combining the conv...
Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) causes a disease onbanana (Musa spp.) and enset (Ensete spp.) known as banana xanthomonaswilt (BXW). Recent studies have shown that Xcm is a strain of X. vasicola(Aritua et al., 2008). However, the status of pathovars within thespecies remains unclear. ...
Bananas (Musa spp.), including dessert and cooking types, are of major importance in the tropics. Due to extremely high levels of sterility, the diversity of cultivated bananas is fixed over long periods of time to the existing genotypes. This pattern puts banana-based agrosystems at risk. Theref...
Experiments were carried out to evaluate various options to reduce wilting of bananas replanted to rehabilitate farms previously destroyed by Xanthomonas campestris pv musacearum (Xcm). Paring, time taken to cure paring injuries and covering corms with infested or uninfested soil were evaluated. ...
Edible bananas result from interspecific hybridization between Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana, as well as among subspecies in M. acuminata. Four particular M. acuminata subspecies have been proposed as the main contributors of edible bananas, all of which radiated in a short period of time in...
Banana (Musa spp.) is an important perennial crop in tropical countries. Testing improved germplasm and/or agronomic practices to increase productivity requires accuracy and precision. The objectives of this study were to determine the optimum plot size (i.e., number of plants per experimental pl...
Cultivated plantains and bananas (Musa spp.) are important staple crops in the humid forest and midaltitude ecologies of sub-Saharan Africa. Their water requirement is relatively high and they are very sensitive to dry soil conditions, which greatly limits their range of cultivation. While long-t...
A multilocational evaluation trial comprising 18 Musa genotypes was carried out from 1991to1994 in three respective locations in Humid Forest (Onne, Nigeria and M' Balmayo, Cameroon) and the Forest- Savanna Transition (Ibadan, Nigeria) zones of West and Central Africa.
Une essai multilocal comprenant 18 genetype de Musa a ete counduit de 1991 a 1994 dans 3 sites representatives dan la foret humide (Onne, Nigeria and M'Balmayo, cameroun) et dans la zone de transition Foret-Savanne (Ibadan, Nigeria) en Afrique de l'Ouest et Centrale.
