    Prevention and control of banana bunchy-top disease (BBTD)
    Banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) is a banana plant disease caused by banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) is mainly transmitted by aphids and planting materials from infected fields. Identifying BBTD: Narrow upright tightly bunched leaves. Dark green dots and dashes on both leaf veins and petioles. Prevention: Use clean suckers […]

    Prevention and control of banana fusarium wilt
    Fusarium wilt is a destructive soil borne fungus that easily moves on shoes and hoes however through using clean resistant planting materials can be a solution to already infected soils. Fusarium wilt can easily be identified through, yellowing in older leaves which turn yellow from margins, collapsing of leaves at the petiole, stunted growth, failure […]

    Prevention and control of banana leaf spot diseases (sigatoka)
    Black and yellow Sigatoka is the most devastating banana disease however Black Sigatoka is more wide spread in lowlands while yellow Sigatoka is more in highland. The disease is mainly transmitted through air and characterized by small streak that develop into black streaks which enlarge, fuse to form black patches that later develop into spots […]

    Prevention and control of banana nematodes
    Banana root nematodes are microscopic worms that feed on plant roots, causing pre mature death hence reducing water and nutrient uptake. Nematodes are identified by rooting of plant roots, falling of plants during strong winds, reduced bunch sizes. East African highland banana are susceptible to nematodes. The most damaging nematodes are Radopholus similis, Helicotylenchus spp, […]

    Tissue culture propagation of banana plant lets
    Banana tissue culture technology are means of producing a thousand plantlets in 6 – 8 months that are pest and disease free, uniform, more vigorous, easily transportable and marketable. However potted tissue plantlets are more fragile than suckers and need special care such as provision of nutrients and regular watering in dry climatic conditions. Propagation […]

    Identification, prevention and control of banana xanthomonas wilt disease (BXW)
    Bacteria xantomonas wilt is a bacterial disease that is mainly transmitted through man, farm tools, vectors, infected planting materials and animals. There signs of attack are premature wilting and dying of leaves, sticky yellow liquid appears when pseudo, leaf sheath, fruit fingers are cut, male bud wilts and dies, brown stains in fruit finger pulp […]

    Soil fertility management in banana plantations
    Poor soil fertility leads to soil nutrient deficiency problems in plants. After diagnosis of the deficiency symptoms, organic and inorganic fertilisers can be used to restore the soil fertility. Nitrogen as a plant nutrient is vital for chlorophyl production, DNA and protein synthesis. Phosphorous helps in root growth, flower and seed formation while potassium helps […]

    Intercropping banana with beans using zero tillage
    Zero tillage has many advantages in banana plantations and is achieved by mulching of the plantation. Intercrops like beans can also be planted without removing the mulch. Mulch is rich in nutrients particularly potassium. Mulching a plantation with grasses or crop residues at 2cm can add up to 300kg/ ha of potassium but incase mulch […]

    Macro propagation of banana plantlets
    Macro propagation technology is a means to produce clean banana plantlets in a 2 to 4 months‘ period provided the suckers are got from healthy plants and contamination avoided in the process. Healthy sword suckers are selected and uprooted from healthy looking mother plants. Sword suckers are suckers which are about 1m in length with […]

    Prevention and control of banana weevils
    Banana weevils is a key banana production constraint these damage and shortens the period over which the plant remains productive. The larvae stage is the most destructive stage of the banana weevil life cycle. Female adults weevils lay eggs in the pseudo stem these hatch into larvae that tunnels into the corm weakening the plant […]
