The effect of fertilizer and mulch across tropic level of the cassava ecosystem, i.e. the plant, the cassava mealybug(CM), the wasp Apoanagyrus lopezi and its hyperparasitoids, was studied in two field experiments planted ins southern Benin. Several cassava cultivars with different branching patt...

The capability of Epidinocarsis lopezi (De Santis) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) to control the cassava mealybug (CM) Phenacoccus manihoti Mat.-Ferr. (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae) was investigated in Nigeria using physical and chemical exclusion experiments. In two sleeve cage experiments CM population...

The cassava mealybug (CM), Phenacoccus manihoti Mat.‐Ferr., is a dry season pest of cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz. Its effects on the patterns of dry matter production and allocation in cassava planted July, September 1982 and May 1983 and grown for 12 months was studied. Peak CM population d...
