Pests and diseases have become major constraints to smallholder banana production in the highlands of East Africa. Biotic challenges to banana cultivation include fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes and insects. Host-plant resistance, developed either by conventional breeding or by application of...

We studied the effect of treating banana and plantain (Musa spp.) suckers using boiling water for the generation of healthy planting material. Small, medium and large-sized suckers of two East African highland bananas (cvs. Mbwazirume, Kibuzi, AAA-EA) and one of plantain (cv. Agbagba, AAB) were d...

A survey was conducted in the different areas in Bénin where yam (Dioscorea spp) are grown. Yam tubers were assessed visually for dry rot disease associated with the yam nematode, Scutellonema bradys. Assessments were made during February and March in 2002 and 2003 on yam for sale on...

Banana (Musaspp.) in East Africa is threatened by pests and diseases, of which the burrowingnematode, Radopholus similis, is among the most serious and difficult to control. Fungal antagonists, such as Paecilomyces spp., can aid in controlling R. similis. In this study, Paecilomyces spp. was isol...

El cultivo de banano (Musaspp.) en Africa Oriental se ve afectado por plagas y enfermedades, en-tre las cuales el nematodo barrenador, Radopholus similis,es uno de los más serios y difíciles de con-trolar. Los hongos antagonistas, como Paecilomycesspp., pueden ayudar a controlar R. similis. En es...

Aspergillus allahabadii, previously reported only from soils in India and El Salvador, was isolated from root-knot nematode egg masses (Meloidogyne spp.) in vegetable fields in Benin. Three populations were recovered from separate fields in the Guinea savannah region from tomato and/or cabbage. T...

The root-knot nematodes (RKN), Meloidogyne spp., represent an important threat to yam (Dioscorea spp.) production in West Africa. With the aim to establish the diversity of RKN species affecting yam tubers, for control and resistance screening purposes, surveys were conducted in the main yam prod...

The root burrowing nematode Radopholus similis and the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus are major pests of banana in the Lake Victoria basin region. An integrated pest management approach that includes habitat management, biological control, host plant resistance and chemical control is curren...

The rapid decline of soil fertility of cultivated lands in the sub-Saharan savannas of West Africa is considered to be the main cause of the increasingly severeconstraints of food production. The soils in this tropical area are highly fragile, and crop yields are limited bycharacteristically low ...
