Biocontrol using Fusarium oxysporum: a critical component of integrated striga management
Parasitic weeds are major contributors to hunger, malnutrition, and food insecurity across sub-Saharan and northern Africa by reducing crop yields in half. Over twenty million hectares of cereal grains in sub-Saharan Africa are infested with Striga (witchweed). Food production losses due to Strig...

Sustainable intensification of smallholder agriculture in Northwest Vietnam: Exploring the potential of integrating vegetables
Rabbit polyclonal antibodies (PAbs) were produced against a pure isolate of Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm), which is the causal organism of banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) disease of banana (Musa spp.) in the Great Lakes region of Africa. Anti-Xcm PAbs were used to develop a direct ant...
