en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 noi 2013
"Banana Systems in the Humid Highlands of Sub-Saharan Africa: Enhancing Resilience and Productivity" addresses issues related to agricultural intensification in the (sub)humid highland areas of Africa, based on research carried out in the Great Lakes Region by the Consortium for Improving Agriculture-based Livelihoods in Central Africa (CIALCA). This book is a valuable resource for researchers, students and policymakers in agricultural economics and international development, covering agronomic, economic, policy, extension, and communication dimensions.

Musa germplasm diversity status across a wide range of agro-ecological zones in Rwanda, Burundi and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. 3. Banana genotype composition along the Uganda-Democratic Republic of Congo border: a gene pool mix for plantain and highland bananas 4. Analysis of farmer-preferred traits as a basis for participatory improvement of East African highland bananas (Musa spp. AAA-EA) in Uganda 5. Agronomic evaluation of common and improved dessert banana cultivars at different altitudes across Burundi 6. Growth and yield of plantain cultivars at four sites of differing altitude in north Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo Novel seed systems 7. Macropropagation of Musa spp. in Burundi - a preliminary study 8. Challenges and opportunities for macro-propagation technology for Musa spp. among small-holder farmers and small and medium-scale enterprises 9. Impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on growth of banana genotypes (Musa spp.) in three different, pasteurized and non-pasteurized soils of Rwanda 10. Indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and growth of tissue cultured banana (Musa spp.) plantlets under nursery and field conditions in Rwanda Banana pests and diseases 11. Development of ELISA for the detection of Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, the causal agent of BXW: banana Xanthomonas wilt 12. Systemicity and speed of movement of Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum in the banana plant after garden tool-mediated infection 13. Use of DNA capture kits to collect Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum and banana bunchy top virus pathogen DNA for molecular diagnostics 14. Banana Xanthomonas wilt management: effectiveness of selective mat uprooting coupled with control options for preventing disease transmission. A case study in Rwanda and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. 15. How does the length of a fallow period, after total uprooting of a Xanthomonas wilt-infected banana field, influence infection of newly established clean planting materials? Case studies from Rwanda and North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo 16. Distribution, incidence and farmer knowledge of banana Xanthomonas wilt in Rwanda 17. Xanthomonas wilt incidence in banana plots planted with asymptomatic suckers obtained from a diseased field compared with plots with suckers obtained from a disease free zone Banana intercropping systems 18. Coffee-banana intercropping as an opportunity for smallholder coffee farmers in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi 19. The use of trees and shrubs to improve banana productivity and production in central Uganda - an analysis of the current situation 20. Effect of leaf pruning of banana (Musa spp. AAA-EA) on legume yield in banana-legume intercropping systems in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo 21. A comparative and systems approach to banana cropping systems in the Great Lakes region 22. Agronomic practices used by farmers in the management of Musa across different agro-ecological zones in Burundi, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda Banana use, post-harvest and nutrition 23. Beer-banana value chain in central Uganda 24. Contribution of bananas and plantains to the diet and nutrition of Musa-dependent households with preschoolers within Beni and Bukavu territories; Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo Surveillance, adoption and communicating knowledge 25. Processes and partnerships for effective regional surveillance of banana (Musa spp.) diseases 26. Adoption and impact of tissue culture bananas (Musa spp.) in Burundi: an application of a propensity score matching approach 27.
