Paperback. Condition: New. This book features five peer-reviewed reviews on understanding and tackling Fusarium wilt in global banana production.The first chapter examines the way in which monoculture has affected the banana industry and discusses the available banana varieties, the advent of the Cavendish variety and the need to develop new banana varieties.The second chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the history, epidemiology and management of F. oxysporum forma specialis cubense Race 1 and 2 - the fungus which causes Fusarium wilt of banana.The third chapter documents the spread of Tropical Race 4 throughout the major Cavendish banana-producing regions of the world and highlights the importance of breeding for resistance to diversify the banana crop for the export trade.The fourth chapter reviews the potential of particular breeding technologies, such as genetic engineering and induced mutagenesis, to improve the performance of Cavendish cultivars and overcome current biological and environmental challenges.The final chapter considers the challenges associated with developing hybrid banana varieties with improved properties and uses insights from Embrapa's banana breeding programme in Brazil to highlight these challenges and how they could possibly be mitigated.

Hardback. Condition: New. "The book provides an excellent overview of banana cultivation across the world and how the adaptation and adoption of inter-disciplinary management strategies ensure sustainable production.a comprehensive foundation of knowledge on which future research strategies can be built." (Book Review Published in Chronica Horticulturae - Dr Karin Hennweg, ARC-ITSC, South Africa)This volume reviews key recent research on improving banana cultivation. Part 1 reviews current challenges in banana production. Part 2 surveys ways of improving cultivation practice across the value chain, from propagation to harvesting, packaging and ripening. The final part of the book assesses ways of measuring and improving the environmental impact of banana cultivation.Highlights of the book include: the latest research on banana domestication and genetic diversity; new research on the limitations of current good agricultural practices and how areas such as soil health can be improved; and summaries of best practice in neglected but critical areas such as harvesting and ripening operations.Drawing on an international range of expertise, the collection will be a standard reference for the banana research community as well as banana producers.

Hardback. Condition: New. ".provides a good overview of the status of genetic improvement of banana, highlighting both the challenges and potential of ensuring successful cultivation.making this volume a comprehensive foundation of knowledge on which future banana improvement strategies can be built." (Book Review Published in Chronica Horticulturae - Dr Karin Hannweg, ARC-ISTC, South Africa)Despite bananas being the world's most exported and valuable fruit, banana production faces a number of challenges, primarily the extremely narrow genetic base currently available for commercial cultivation which increases the rate of vulnerability to diseases and other stresses. The sector faces increasing pressure to improve existing varieties, as well as to develop new varieties which retain key yield and quality characteristics and improved resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses.Achieving sustainable cultivation of bananas Volume 2: Germplasm and genetic improvement offers an authoritative discussion on the progress of identifying and broadening the genetic base for Musa species. This collection reviews the current conventional and molecular breeding techniques for breeding new varieties of banana, as well as providing coverage on improving traits in Cavendish.With its distinguished editors and international range of expert authors, Achieving sustainable cultivation of bananas Volume 2: Germplasm and genetic improvement will be a standard reference for university and other researchers in tropical fruit science, government and other agencies supporting banana cultivation, as well as commercial banana growers and retailers. This title is accompanied by two companion volumes: Achieving sustainable cultivation of bananas Volume 1: Cultivation techniques and Achieving sustainable cultivation of bananas Volume 3: Diseases and pests.

Hardback. Condition: New. "Burleigh Dodds has recently published the third volume of a three-volume series on Achieving sustainable cultivation of bananas, one of over 160 titles in the Burleigh Dodds Series in Agricultural Science. The third volume is separated into several parts and within each part, several chapters outline the most important pests and diseases affecting banana cultivation throughout the value chain from pre-plant to postharvest. The book is an invaluable tool for students, scientists and technical production managers alike." (Book Review Published in Chronica Horticulturae - Dr Karin Hennweg, ARC-ITSC, South Africa)Bananas are a key food source for millions, whilst their production supports the livelihood of farmers across the globe. However, recent research has identified the vulnerability of particular banana varieties to major pests and diseases. With the banana industry under threat of extinction, more research is required into understanding the biology of the pests and diseases that pose this threat so that more effective management strategies can be developed and the risk of future outbreaks reduced.Achieving sustainable cultivation of bananas Volume 3: Diseases and pests provides a comprehensive review of the major pests and diseases affecting global banana production including Tropical Race 4, black Sigatoka and banana streak virus. The book explores existing methods for pest/disease diagnosis and identification, current management strategies used to control and/or prevent outbreaks, as well as the development of disease-resistant cultivars and integrated pest and disease management programmes.
