Bananas and plantains are major fruit crops in the tropics and
subtropics, making a vital contribution to the economies of many
countries. In the last 15 years, substantial changes have occurred
in banana production, among them the increased importance of fungal
and viral diseases and their serious impact on Cavendish export
cultivars, smallholder plantains and cooking bananas. Changes in
production systems such as protected greenhouse cultivation,
organic, fair-trade and integrated cultivation and their respective
certification schemes have also become prominent. This book
provides an accessible review of the scientific principles of
banana production and how these relate to field practices. Revised
and updated with expanded coverage of world trade statistics and
policies, breeding of new cultivars in relation to disease
resistance and markets, prospects for genetically-modified bananas
and the increasing role of endophytes in controlling pests and
diseases, this new edition is an essential resource for researchers
and students in horticulture.
