Production loss caused by nematodes in East African highland banana was evaluated at Sendusu, near Kampala in Uganda, 1120 m above sea level. The commonly grown cultivar, Mbwazirume, was grown in nematode-infested and non-infested plots under heavily mulched, clean-weeded and millet-intercropped ...

Field surveys were conducted during 1990–92 to document the relative abundance of different species of parasites of the lepidopterous stem borers Sesamia calamistis Hampson and Eldana saccharina Walker in maize fields in southwestern Nigeria. Species of parasitoids detected on both stem borers in...

Studies were undertaken to determine disease interactions involving P. goodeyi and a non-pathogenic strain of F. oxysporum, both responsible for root-rotting and subsequent toppling of 2 banana cultivars in Kenya. Thirty days after inoculation of young banana plants with P. goodeyi alone or in co...

A field trial was established at Sendusu. 40 km north of Kampala. Uganda, to evaluate the response of yarn lines, developed by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), to nematode infestation. The field was naturally infested with nematodes and plants were established from tiss...

The predominant nematode species found on plantain in southern Nigeria was Helicotylenchus multicinctus which occurred at all 68 sites sampled. Hoplolaimus pararobustus, Pratylenchus coffeae and Radopholus similis were found at 64, 50 and 46% of the sites, respectively, while Meloidogyne spp. sec...

Different species of yams are grown in the "yam zone" of West Africa. In field and storage, yams are exposed to various diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and nematodes. Yam diseases can be controlled by several integrated control practices.
Four Musa cultivars, differing in nematode susceptibility, were selected to study their relative mycorrhizal dependency and to study the interaction between the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF), Glomus mosseae, and two migratory endoparasitic nematodes, Radopholus similis and Pratylenchus coff...
