Frogskin is the most limiting disease of cassava crops in Colombia, causing losses in production up to 90%. Since this disease was associatated with 16SrIII phytoplasma presence, a study was carried out to isolate this phytoplasma using liquid and solid culture media. Root, petiol, stem, leaf and...

Isolation of phytoplasmas associated to frogskin disease in cassava = Aislamiento de fi toplasmas asociados a cuero de sapo en yuca
Frogskin disease (FSD) is the most important constraint to cassava crop as it directly affects the production of roots, causing yield losses as high as 90% for farmers in Cauca, Colombia. The phytoplasma associated with FSD belongs to the 16SrIII-L subgroup and was isolated using an artificial cu...

Cassava diseases are major production constraints wherever the crop is grown. Although diseases will continue to pose a challenge to cassava producers in the immediate future, tremendous progress is being made in developing control tactics. These range from biotechnological approaches for enhanci...
