The burrowing bug, C. bergi (Hymenopetra: Cydnidae) was first recorded as a cassava pest in Valle, Colombia, in 1979. Nymphs and adults of this subterranean sucking insect feed on cassava roots by means of a thin, strong stylet. As it feeds, it inoculates the roots with soil-borne pathogens such ...

The existence of endophytes in cassava was suspected for the following reasons: (a) A wide range variation of root yield is frequent among disease-symptomless plants growing on the same plot; (b) root yield of low-yielding, virus-free plants of traditional clones can be increased by meristem cult...

Recent investigations on cassava and its relationships with Pseudomonas fluorescens and P. putida have shown (a) Isolates with none or very mild inhibition of pathogenic bacteria and fungi; (b) isolates that strongly inhibit pathogenic bacteria, with none or very mild inhibition of fungi; (c) iso...

We want to understand the physiological mechanisms underlying the high photosynthetic rates of cassava under drought stress and high temperatures. Histological analysis of leaf cross sections with cassava PEPC specific antiserum to establish the enzymic compartmentalization pattem is our next goa...

Although world cassava production has been increasing, it is shown that considerable cassava yield gaps still exist. Constraints are divided according to being endogenous and exogenous to the (plant and) production system. It is indicated that besides these constraints, considerable "adoption con...
