On-farm demonstration, testing and dissemination of boiling water treatment for plantain (Musa spp.) sucker sanitation in Southern Cameroon
Plantain (*Musa* spp.) is an important staple food and cash crop in West and Central Africa. It is highly susceptible to a complex of root and corm pests and diseases and yields are low. Farmers practice virtually no pest or disease control. A simple inexpensive method to clean suckers of most pests...
