Okra germplasm collected from different locations around the world were screened atAVRDC(TheWorldVegetable Center) in 2011 and 2012 to identify germplasm resistant to themelon aphid (Aphis gossypii) for use in sub-Saharan Africa. A total of 260 okra accessions andvarieties were screened (150 at A...
Pesticide use practices of vegetable farmers were investigated during surveys conducted in major vegetable production zones of the humid tropics of Cameroon. The surveys aimed to elucidate farmers’ crop calendar, pesticide spray schedule and frequency. Farmers’ knowledge was determined on pest ta...
