Our present study was conducted precisely to determine the effects of long-term incineration on banana and plantain cultivation under the conditions of Masako in particular and the Kisangani region in general whose cultivars Litete, Libanga, Gros Michel and Yangambi Km5 were used as propagating material. Observation included the inventory in the system, average plant height, average diameter, number of functional leaves, number of rejets, rate of infection of cercosporiasis and fusarium wilt, and infestation rate of infection of cercosporiasis and fusarium wilt, and infestation rate of weevils and nematodes. The results of these various parameters showed in particular that the inincinerated block gave a superior result compared to the incinerated block.
It is important to remember that comparing the averages of plants in the same block shows significant differences at the 5 % threshold between cultivars.
