ABOUT US

Xanthomonas Wilt (BXW) of banana is a serious disease affecting farmers in East and Central Africa, with yield losses of up to 100%. Over the past years, Single-Diseased Stem Removal (SDSR), which is cutting all visibly diseased stems at soil level immediately after first symptom detection, has been developed as a labour-extensive technology that reduces plant incidence levels to less than 2% within 6 months.

OUR IMPACT

Goals

Banana productivity is recovered for 56,861 households in a target area of approximately 28,500 hectares in DR Congo, Burundi, and Uganda, delivering increased food and income by the end of the project.

Objectives

Deploy the Scale Single-Diseased Stem Removal (SDSR) for BXW management from the piloting scaling stage (operational environment) to the ultimate scaling stage (application) using a dynamic, integrated scaling framework. SDSR has been successfully piloted and further developed in Burundi, DR Congo, and Uganda and requires research and development investments to move forward.
