Two node cuttings of 18 cassava varieties were planted in 20 cm diameter non-disposable plastic pipes filled with sawdust with the objective of establishing their resistance to root knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). The cassava plants were left to grow for one month after which they were inocula...

The workshop was conducted from 10-14 December, 2012 at the International Potato Center, Lima, Peru. It was jointly funded by the research programs on Roots, Tubers, and Banana (RTB) and on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). The workshop successfully linked scientists from CG-...

Recent and current efforts at IITA to assess risks due to the various biotic stresses, arthropod pests and diseases, are presented for different cropping systems. In the case of cassava arthropod pests, the focus is on temperature-mediated interactions between the pest and its natural enemy which...

The influence of underlying hydrology and overhead irrigation on plant parasitic nematode populations in upland and hydromorphic rice was examined during three successive seasons on a valley slope at the West Africa Rice Development Association station, Côte d’Ivoire. Nematode population densitie...

Progress in pest management on cassava (Manihot esculenta) in Africa has witnessed remarkable achievements over recent years in the management of African cassava mosaic virus, cassava mealy bug, cassava green mite and overall germplasm improvement for yield improvements. From the scant informatio...

Within sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), although nematodes are viewed among the most important threats to crop production and food security, the presence of trained nematologists working within this discipline has traditionally been viewed as scarce. The few research studies concerning this subject addr...

Mineral fertilizer application and consequent plant nutrition has long been observed to influence associated plant-parasitic nematode population densities, offering the potential as a nematode management option. Observations were made on the influence of mineral fertilizer application on nematode...

The use of mutualistic fungal endophytes to control the banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) and banana parasitic nematodes (Radopholus similis, Pratylenchus goodeyi and Helicotylenchus multicinctus) is currently being investigated at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture. Fungal e...

Among the major constriats to highland cooking banana (Musa spp. AAA-EA) production in Uganda is the high pests infestation levels. Most important are the banana weevil cosmopolites sordidus and a complex of plant parasitic root nematodes of which Radopholus similis is the most important. Clean p...
