Enset root mealybugs: Are they a threat to bananas?
Guy Blomme
In a collaborative effort, researchers at Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, and IITA have for the first time identified the host status of banana to enset root mealybugs. Enset root mealybugs were observed on the root system of banana mats under natural conditions, and the host status was confirmed using experimental trials (Erenso et al.…

Gender-responsive genomic selection on farmer’s fields for accelerating genetic gains
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/131387
Abstract
This study used gender-intentional participatory approaches to address the challenges of low genetic correlation and lower genetic gains for small-scale bean producers in sub-Saharan Africa.
The differences between on stations and on-farm performance of bean varieties in sub-Saharan bean farming, especially for women farmers with limited resources, may cause low genetic correlation and lower genetic gains…
