Abstract
There are many different broad systems of banana cultivation and management and these depend on whether the production area is tropical or subtropical; whether the production is for export, local market or for subsistence; and whether the crop is dessert bananas or plantains (Purse-glove, 1972; Samson, 1980; Jaramillo, 1987; Stover and Simmonds, 1987; Wilson, 1987).
