Preliminary evaluation of secondary Musa polyploids at IITA breeding station by Ortíz, R., Vuylsteke, D.R.

“…Nevertheless some resistant secondary tetraploids were selected for further testing due to their acceptable bunch weights and/or short plant height in the plant crop. The highest yielding secondary triploid was obtained by crossing IITA's primary tetraploid plantain 'TMPx 4479-1' ('Bobby Tannap' x 'Calcutta 4') with the improved diploid banana 'SH-3362' from the Fundación Hondureña de Investigación Agrícola (FHIA). …”

Prospects of Increasing Tropical Rice Production Through Ratooning by Bahar, F.A., De Datta, S.K.

“…The agronomic practices studied were cutting height of the crop produced from seed (referred to as the “main” crop), N level, plant spacing, water management, and degree of land preparation.All the cultivars that were grown as ratoon crops were infected by the grassy stunt virus disease; the same cultivars grown simultaneously by transplanting and direct seeding were not infected. …”

Influence of Phaseolus vulgaris blossoming characteristics and canopy structure upon reaction to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by Schwartz, Howard F., Steadman, James R., Coyne, Dermot P.

“…The most susceptible entries produced a canopy that was significantly more dense in terms of leaf area × dry weight/height than was that of resistant types. The growth habit of the plant; i.e., determinate or indeterminate, did not exclusively influence the incidence of infection. …”
