Abstract
The principal problems affecting the Brazilian banana crop include low productivity of the cultivars in use (less than 15 t/ha/year), their lack of drought tolerance, the tall stature of some of them and susceptibility to diseases and pests.
Aiming at solutions, the National Centre for Research in Cassava and Tropical Fruit Crops (CNPMF), of the Brazilian Enterprise for Agricultural Research (EMBRAPA), started in November 1982 a programme of genetic improvement for bananas.
This paper treats of the main advances so far achieved.
