Fifty-three cassava lines were selected from breeding populations at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria and screened in vitro for resistance to cassava anthracnose disease (CAD). The in vitro inoculation of stem cuttings with the fungus Colletotrichum gloe...

A survey was conducted in 1994 to describe the maize storage systems, quantify the aflatoxin levels in these storage systems, and identify the main problems of maize storage recognized by both men and women farmers in five agroecological zones in Nigeria. Maize storage in bags was the most common...

Thirty-five cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), germplasm collection were planted in May 1992 under natural disease infection conditions, at the IITA field plots at Ibadan, Nigeria. The genotypes were evaluated at monthly i...

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of Pseudotheraptus devastans in cassava anthracnose disease transmission and development. P. devastans, Dist (Het. Coriedae) insects were collected from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) field plots at the International Institute of Tropical Agri...

The response of yam (Dioscorea) cultivars to artificial and natural infections with minisett rot pathogens was investigated. None of the 20 yam cultivars were resistant to Sclerotium rolfsii [Corticium rolfsii] or Trichoderma longibrachyatum. Cultivars TDa 84/093, 85/236, 85/257, TDr 608, 745, 81...

Thirty isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides f. sp. manihotis causal organism of cassava anthracnose disease (CAD), were collected from cankers on cassava stems in cassava-growing zones of Nigeria. Using a pathogenicity test, five virulent isolates (05FCN, 10FCN, 12FCN, 18FCN and 26FCN) were...

Soybean rust, caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is an important disease in Nigeria and many other soybean-producing countries world-wide. To determine the geographical distribution of soybean rust in Nigeria, soybean fields were surveyed in the Derived Savanna (...
Aflatoxin contamination resulting from maize infection by Aspergillus flavus is both an economic and a public
health concern. Therefore, strategies for controlling aflatoxin contamination in maize are being investigated. The
abilities of eleven naturally occurring atoxigenic isolates in Nigeria t...
