Exploring nitrogen use efficiency in Musa spp.
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130572
Abstract
Banana (Musa spp.) is an important staple crop, especially in developing countries where it ensures food security. However, optimal yields are not obtained due to both biotic and abiotic constraints. Low soil fertility is one of the limiting factors in the East African highlands, as the currently applied amount of organic (crop residues, animal manure, etc.) and inorganic fertilizers by smallholder farmers is not sufficient to maintain…
