Aspects related to breeding programs in cassava, the impact of past strategies and exptl results related to them are discussed. Even though sources of resistance have been identified for the majority of the diseases and pests, in addition to tolerance to adverse edaphic and climatic factors, it i...

Cassava/ecosystem relationships and their influence on breeding strategy
The effect of the application of ethyl parathion, trichlorfon, diflubenzuron, and Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki to eggs of Erinnyis ello, before and after being parasitized by Trichogramma exiguum and Telenomus sphingis, was studied. Insecticides were also tested on the adults of these par...

Chemical exclusion of predators with permethrin was used to test the effectiveness of the phytoseiid predator Amblyseius limonicus Garman and McGregor and a complex of minor predators in the biological control of tetranychid (Mononychellus spp., Tetranychus spp., and Oligonychus peruvianus McGreg...

Oviposition by the cassava hornworm,Erinnyis ello L., was quantified for upper (abaxial) and lower (adaxial) leaf surfaces of cassava in the department of Tolima, Colombia. Relative rates of egg parasitism byTelenomus sphingis Ashmead on the different leaf surfaces were determined and compared. A...

The parasitism, development, and thermal requirements of Trichogramma exiguum and Telenomus sphingis, common parasitoids of Erinnyis ello eggs, were studied. Life statistics were also determined for each specie and temp. (20, 25, and 30 degrees C for both species; for T. sphingis 32.5 degrees C w...

A Phenaccocus herreni Cox & Williams population studied in Colombia, S.A., across a complete cassava crop cycle did not exceed 81 mealybugs/plant. P. herreni densities in Colombia were highest in the dry season, as were levels of parasitism by the encyrtids Acerophagus coccois Smith and Epidinoca...

Estimating total losses from parasitoids for a field population of a continuously breeding insect, cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus herreni, (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae) in Colombia, S.A.
Approx 20 insects and mites were found attacking cassava in several regions of Colombia at different growth stagcs and seasons. Thrips (Frankliniella williamsi), gall midges (Cecidomyiidae) and whiteflies (Bemisia sp. and Trialeurodes sp.) were present in greater than 50 percent of the plantation...
