| Name: | Banana IPM promotion and assessment |
| Coordinating organisation: | CABI Bioscience |
| Description: | Objectives: Promotion of strategies to reduce the impact of pests in herbaceous crops in Forest Agriculture systems, for the benefit of poor people. Background: Since the late 1980s, IPM technology development, evaluation, promotion and dissemination efforts have been focussed on a range of priority constraints identified by the UNBRP and it's partners, including those participating in R8342. However, the recent emergence and rapid spread of banana bacterial wilt (BBW) , first recognised in Mukono district in September 2001, is already having a devastating effect on banana cultivation in central Uganda in particular, and is threatening the highly productive regions of south and south-west Uganda. It also has the potential to significantly counteract progress made with respect to IPM development and implementation, including the uptake of improved banana varieties. The disease is now known to be present in 26 districts. |
