Anthracnose and virus diseases exert devastating impacts on yam production in many tropical regions of the world where the crop contributes to food security and income generation. The complexities in their epidemiology necessitate the use of integrated approaches in their management. Six genotype...

Severity of anthracnose and virus diseases of water yam (dioscorea alata L.) in NIgeria I: effects of yam genotype and date of planting
Yam anthracnose and virus diseases are the most important biotic constraints affecting yam production in the world. Six Dioscorea alata genotypes were evaluated for their reaction to these diseases in four distinct agro-ecological zones in Nigeria for two years. Data obtained were subjected to li...

Environmental stability of resistance to anthracnose and virus diseases of water yam (Dioscorea alata)
Greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.), belonging to the family Dioscoreaceae, is a staple food crop of the tropics. It is cultivated for its edible, nutritious, underground tubers. Its productivity declined due to anthracnose disease. There was no sequence information for yam in the public database. T...
