Abstract
‘NABIO808’ is a newly released, conventionally-bred triploid cooking
banana cultivar in Uganda. It produces an average bunch yield of 54.5 t ha-1
yr-1 and is resistant to weevils, nematodes, and black Sigatoka. Additionally,
its food is yellow, soft, and tasty, like that of most preferred landrace cultivars,
making it more acceptable to end-users.
