The Effect of Banana Bacteria Wilt on The Socio-Economic Welfare of Farmers in Ruhinda Sub-County Rukungiri District . by Tayebwa, Rameka

“…The highest number of respondents mentioned source of mulch for maintaining and improving soil fertility, the lowest number of respondents mentioned that the disease has led to increased poverty among households and the study continued on possible measures to control banana bacteria wilt in Ruhinda sub-county Rukungiri district, the highest number of respondents mentioned heating garden tools such as hoes, machete, knives and slashers over a fire until the metal is too hot to touch is also effective in killing the bacteria, the lowest number of respondents talked of timely removal of male buds with a forked stick is important in where insect vector that visit the diseased flower parts carry the pathogen. The study recommended that there should be quarantine enforcement by the government agencies to prevent spread of banana bacteria wilt to non-infected areas, there should be policies on the use of clean planting materials and regular inspection/screening for the approved banana nurseries to dispense banana bacteria wilt disease free materials and there should be production of free banana bacteria wilt such as banana tissue culture, train and encourage more banana nurseries producers/tissue culture hardening nurseries to avail clean banana planting materials.…”

Relationship between weapon size and six key behavioural and physiological traits in males of the European earwig by Blackwell, Samantha E M, Pasquier, Laura, Dupont, Simon, devers, Severine, Lecureuil, Charlotte, Meunier, Joël

“…We sampled hundreds of males from two populations, selected 60 males with the longest and shortest forceps from each population, and then measured locomotor performance, boldness, aggregation behaviour, survival under harsh conditions, sperm storage, and survival after pathogen exposure. Contrary to our predictions, we detected no main association between forceps length and the traits measured. …”
