Data underlying the publication "Banana fibre yield and recovery in diversified farming systems of Uganda: Protocol, allometry and determinants."

Fibre from agricultural residues, including banana pseudo-stems, is globally gaining traction. This study aimed at developing allometric models for rapid evaluation of plant-level fibre yield, and probing underlying determinants for both yield and recovery. The data was collected on a total of 346 pseudo-stems purposively sampled from on-station and farmers’ fields across four banana genomes - AAA, AAA-EA, AAB, ABB) at pre- and post-flowering growth stages. Banana fibre was mechanically extracted, sun-dried, stored and weighed to determine fibre yield and recovery. The data used to develope genome-specific allometric models for predicting dry fibre yield per plant was based on variables measured within (in-situ) and outside the field (ex-situ).

源自农业废弃物（含香蕉假茎）的纤维在全球范围内愈发受到关注。本研究旨在构建异速生长模型（allometric models）以快速评估单株纤维产量，并探究影响纤维产量与提取率的潜在决定因素。本研究共采集346株假茎样本，采用目的抽样法从覆盖4种香蕉基因组（AAA、AAA-EA、AAB、ABB）的试验站及农户田间选取样本，涵盖开花前与开花后两个生长阶段。通过机械提取、日晒干燥、储存及称重的方式处理香蕉纤维，以测定纤维产量与提取率。用于构建针对特定基因组的异速生长模型、预测单株干纤维产量的数据集，其数据来源于原位（in-situ）田间与异地（ex-situ）采集的相关变量。
