Abstract

On station experimental trial on the growth performance and resistance against black sigatoka of the indigenous and exotic banana clones were evaluated at Mbarara Zonal Agricultural Research and Development Institute. The experiment composed of 11 indigenous and 3 exotic banana clones planted at 3 × 3 m, and replicated three times in three blocks, was laid in a Complete Randomized Block Design. Data on banana growth parameters and susceptibility to black sigatoka were collected in the 3rd and 4th crop cycles. Both the indigenous and exotic banana clones exhibited high growth and yield potentials in the semi-arid conditions of the south-western agroecological zone of Uganda. Kabucuragye and Williams had significantly (p
