Effects of a funnel-shaped canopy on rainfall redistribution and plant water acquisition in a banana (Musa spp.) plantation

, 2020
Most of the world’s tropical landscapes are experiencing changes in land-use and land-cover. In Yunnan Province in southwestern China, land-use changes are widespread throughout the tropics, with large areas of tropical forests being converted to banana (

PROXIMATE AND ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS OF BANANA FRUITS (Musa spp) RIPENED WITH VARIOUS CONCENTRATIONS OF CALCIUM CARBIDE.

Journal of Chemical Society of Nigeria, 2020
Fruit ripening is a natural process in which fruits go through various physical and chemical changes and gradually become sweet, coloured, soft and palatable.

Assessment of metabolic variability and diversity present in leaf, peel and pulp tissue of diploid and triploid Musa spp.

Phytochemistry, 2020
Banana (Musa spp.) plants produce many health promoting compounds in leaf, peel and pulp. For a robust metabolic analysis of these tissues, leaf at five developmental stages were compared to assess suitable sampling practices.

Analyzing somaclonal variation in micropropagated bananas (Musa spp.)

In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Plant, 2003
In a micropropagation program, where it is of paramount importance to produce true-to-type planting material, somaclonal variation of any kind is undesirable. Variation among plants regenerated from tissue culture is termed ‘somaclonal variation’. In banana, somaclonal variants of different type have been reported with regard to plant morphology.

Ripening and cooking processes influence the carotenoid content in bananas and plantains (Musa spp.).

Food Research International, 2019
In bananas, the major carotenoids are α- and β-carotene, which give this fruit great potential in biofortification programs. The carotenoid content in pulp and peel of 22 banana and plantain genotypes was determined in order to evaluate the impact of ...

IMPROVED CONTROL ON UNWANTED BANANA PLANT (Musa spp.)

The Planter, 2018
An improved method of controlling unwanted banana plant (Musa spp.) with a mixture of glyphosate isopropylamine 48.6 per cent w/v, metsulfuron-methyl 20 per cent w/w and water in the ratio 4:1:16 is reported in this paper. Field trials in an oil palm plantation showed that a single application of 0.5 ml to 0. 6 ml of this mixture soaked in bamboo stick

BANANA (MUSA SPP.) JUICE PRODUCTION IN SOUTH AFRICA

Acta Horticulturae, 2010
The banana (Musa spp.) cultivars grown in the rural areas of South Africa are 'Pisang Awak' (ABB genome) (70%) and 'Cavendish' (AAA genome) (30%) in contrast to only 'Cavendish' in the commercial banana growing areas. 'Pisang Awak' is a hardy banana cultivar that is currently not grown for commercial purposes but as a domestic fruit for home use on ...
