%X <p>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).</p>
