In Mondomo, state of Cauca (Colombia), a socioeconomic survey was made of the 7 famers in the area that participated in the program of demonstration plots. In general terms the educational level is varied, the majority (6) are full-time farmers who have lived in the area greater than 10 yr and ha...

Several physical and biological factors that limit cassava productivity are described: temp. and photoperiod, soil water availability, RH, soil characteristics (fertility and pH), and pests and diseases. Six edapho--climatic zones (ECZ) for cassava production are defined on the basis of temp.: lo...

The management of a sudden high population of the cassava hornworm (Erinnyis ello) is discussed on the basis of data referring to those occurring in Santander de Quilichao in May 1980, in plantations at the exptl. station at the Centro lnternacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT), and in a neighb...

Plant tissue culture includes a wide range of techniques: protoplast, cell, anther, callus, meristem and organ culture, all having one common factor: the growth of vegetative material in an aseptic environment; i,e., the sterilized culture medium in test tubes. In spite of the fact that several o...
Cassava mealybugs constitute one of the major production problems of cassava in Africa and the Americas. The species already identified that attack cassava in the Americas include Phenacoccus manihoti, P. herreni, P. gossypii, and P. grenadensis. Since its introduction into Africa, P. manihoti ha...

Methods of vegetative reproduction are discussed using the results obtained with cassava and potato. Results of clone cleaning by heat therapy and in vitro meristem culture are given. Two methods for rapid cassava multiplication are proposed: by sprouts from cuttings and single leaf cuttings, whi...

Research results obtained during 1975-87 on the biocontrol of cassava pathogens are summarized with emphasis on the use of fluorescent pseudomonads as biocontrol agents in different cassava production systems. Evidence of biocontrol of Uromyces spp. by the mycoparasite Darluca filum is reviewed. ...
A program of biological control of the cassava hornworm appears feasible. The following biological control agents have been found to reduce hornworm populations effectively: Trichogramma spp. (egg parasites), Apanteles spp. (larval parasites), Polistes spp. (larval predators) and Bacillus thuring...
Part of the methodology of the analysis applied to the project of the hornworm (Erinnyis ello) on cassava is presented. The project studies the hornworm life cycle and population dynamics and the economic impact on cassava production under 2 conditions (1) in cages with controlled ideal condition...

A survey was conducted on 205 soil samples collected from 12 sites in Colombia of different crops, including beans on which the research was mainly focussed (132 soil samples from 10 sites), in order to characterize problems of nematodes in the different regions, make comparisons, and suggest res...
