Community Mobilization and Awareness Creation for the Management of Enset <i>Xanthomonas</i> Wilt (EXW): The Case of Gerino Enset Tekil Kebele Administration, Gurage Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Abstract: Enset bacterial wilt (EXW) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum is the major constraint in enset-based farming system. The opportunity to provide integrated EXW management options has opened a new vista and is enhanced by wellinformed communities who are aware of the management approach available to them. We hypothesized that differential success in EXW control is mainly due to approach used in the EXW control. It is the responsibility of the research institute to adequately inform these communities… Show more

“…As pointed out by previous studies [8,32,33], higher family size of household is a common characteristic in enset-growing regions. As family labor increases, it is expected that agricultural activities can also be accomplished on time.…”

“…Household resource leaders are mostly males as is the case in other enset-growing regions [8,32,33] and other African countries [34][35][36]. In all zones, the ages of interviewed heads of households ranged from 24 to 92 years, about 62% of respondent households were within the range of working age (24-65 years old), whereas 38% of them were older (> 65 years old).…”

“…Enset farmers in Ethiopia try to control the disease by disinfecting farming and processing tools, uprooting and burning infected Enset plants, keeping elds and surrounding areas free of weeds and volunteer plants (alternative hosts), exposing the soil during dry season prior to planting, proper spacing, avoiding over ow of water from infected to uninfected elds, controlling wild and domestic animals from browsing, use of clean planting materials (suckers or corms), strict control of the movement of planting material from one area to other, rotation of crops, and use of resistant or tolerant landrace (Yemataw, et al 2016;Melese et al 2014).…”

“…Despite its suitability and potentials, area allocated to Enset production is declining from time to time due to bacterial wilt attack and many farmers started replacing Enset elds with other crops (Yemataw et al, 2016 andZerfu et al, 2018). Moreover, there is no modern scienti c management method; therefore the disease management is based on cultural controlling methods (Melese et al, 2014;Yemataw, Z et al, 2016).…”

“…Substantial efforts to manage and mitigate XW on enset have been made, and while some successes have been reported (Handoro, 2015;Yemataw et al, 2016), the disease remains prevalent across the enset growing belt in the southern Ethiopian highlands (McKnight-CCRP, 2013;Yemataw et al, 2020). The main recommended control and management practices include the sterilization of garden tools, the use of clean planting materials, the prevention of roaming animals in infected fields and the timely removal of infected plants (Quimio and Tessera, 1996;Tadesse et al, 2003;Yemataw et al, 2012;Blomme et al, 2017).…”
