<b>Increased efficiency in phenotyping </b><b>banana (</b><b><i>Musa </i></b><b>spp.) germplasm for resistance to five biotic constraints using P-rep design </b>

We use robust experimental design and statistical analysis, to demonstrate the utility of Partially Replicated Designs (P-rep) for handling staggered planting material availability and large genotype sets, while supporting reliable identification of resistant parental genotypes for banana breeding programs.
