The aim was to identify biological and physical factors responsible for reducing maize yield in Cameroon. Two surveys were conducted in 137 fields in two agroecological zones in 1995–1997. In the Humid Forest (HF), Bipolaris maydis, Stenocarpella macrospora, Puccinia polysora, Rhizoctonia solani ...

Biological and physical contraints on maize production in the Humid Forest and Western Highlands of Cameroon
Three surveys of maize fields were undertaken in 1993 in Cameroon, ranging from low to high altitudes, and from forests in the south with bimodal rainfall (two cropping seasons) to the northern savanna with monomodal rainfall distribution (one cropping season). Field conditions, insects and disea...

A systems approach to assess crop health and maize yield lossess due to pests and diseases in Cameroon
Fungal incidence and mycotoxin contamination of farm-stored maize were assessed and compared in grain samples from three villages each in two agroecological zones over time. Maize samples were collected at 2 and 4 months after stocking from 72 farmers’ stores in 1996 and 1997 in the Humid Forest ...
