The present study aimed at determining the iron, zinc and β-carotene contents of the plantain-based foods commonly consumed in Southern Nigeria to assess the quantitative contribution of plantain consumption in meeting iron, zinc and vitamin A requirements of both children and their mothers. A su...

A quick and reliable method for evaluating pollen quality is essential in a breeding program, especially in a crop such as banana that is characterized by high male and female sterility. In this study the germination and viability of banana pollen was evaluated in a sucrose solution and diluted b...

In 1990, observations were made on the nematode species profile on bananas in Oyugis district, Kenya. The country-wide survey was conducted in 1993 across 13 primary Musa growing districts. Observations were made on banana cultivars Nakyetengu (AAA) and Sukali Ndizi (AB). Considerable variation i...

The susceptibility and sensitivity to Radopholus similis and Helicotylenchus multicintus of 2-month-old plants derived from sword suckers (early screening) and of sword suckers of established 18-month-old mats belonging to 12 Musa genotype was investigated and compared. Differences in nematode po...

Banana is the primary food crop in Uganda, but yields are low due to a complex of abiotic and biotic constraints. However, quantitative information on the importance, interactions, and geographic distribution of yields and constraints is scanty. We monitored yields, biotic and abiotic constraints...

Timing and distribution of attack on East African highland banana (Musa AAA- EA) by the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar), (Coleoptera: Curculion- idae) was studied in a field trial at a farm 25 km NE of Kampala, Uganda. Weevils were released at three densities (5, 20 and 40 females p...

Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) was first reported from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in the 1950s, has become invasive and spread into 11 countries in the region. To determine the potential threat of BBTV to the production of bananas and plantains (Musa spp.) in...

Coffee and banana are major cash and food crops, respectively, for many smallholders in the East African highlands. Uganda is the largest banana producer and 2nd largest coffee producer in Africa. Both crops are predominantly grown as monocultures. However, coffee–banana intercropping is common i...

A specific and rapid diagnostic tool has been developed to detect Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, the causal agent of bacterial wilt of banana. PCR primers were developed from intergenic regions of X. campestris pv. musacearum following its partial sequence. A total of 48 primers were test...
