Cultivation of improved banana varieties, in combination with mulching, trenches and organic compost
This technology describes a combination of good practices for soil and water conservation to enhance the resilience of banana plantations to the increasing dry spells in the central cattle corridor of Uganda, as part of the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) project on Agriculture Adaptation to Climate Change in Uganda. This technology briefly introduces the concepts of mulching, trenches, organic compost and the introduction of high-yielding banana varieties and presents a cost-benefit analysis of the combination of the four good practices compared to usual practices.
