Plantain (Musa spp. AAB) bunch yield and root health response to combinations of physical, thermal and chemical sucker sanitation measures
Plantain is an important staple food in West and Central Africa and the Congo Basin. The crop is largely grown in extensive 'slash and burn' systems, drawing heavily on the natural resource base, but is low-yielding due to its high susceptibility to a complex of root and corm pests and diseases.
