Tissue culture is increasingly being used as a vehicle for the safe exchange of Musa germplasm. However, certain pathogens, e.g banana bunchy-top virus (BBTV), may pass undetected through in vitro culture. To meet the urgent need for introducing new desired germplasm for Musa breeding and reduced...

Cassava chips (cassava balls, and cassava pellets) are derived cassava products traditionally produced byfarmers in sub-Saharan Africa following fermentation, and drying of fresh roots of cassava, and are widelyconsumed in Cameroon. Once produced, this food commodity can be stored for more than t...

Field surveys were conducted in 2012 and 2013 to evaluate the distribution and virulence of fungal isolates associated with tuber rot disease among yam (Dioscorea spp.) producing agroecological zones (AEZs) of Nigeria. A total of 70 and 66 farmers’ fields were surveyed in 2012 and 2013, respectiv...

Tuber rot disease is a major constraint to white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) production, accounting for 50-60% of annual yield losses in Nigeria. The main method of control using synthetic fungicides is being discouraged due to human and environmental health hazards. The potential of Oryza sativa h...
