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...

Early screening of cassava for resistance to rootknot nematodes
The root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood, is a serious pest of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and spinach (Spinacea oleracea) in sub-Saharan Africa. In East Africa these two crops are economically important and are commonly intercropped by smallholder farmers. The ...

Identification of key root volatiles signaling preference of tomato over spinach by the Root Knot Nematode Meloidogyne incognita
Under more intensified cropping conditions agriculture will face increasing incidences of soil-borne plant pests and pathogens, leading to increasingly higher yield losses world-wide. Soil-borne disease complexes, in particular, are especially difficult to control. In order to better understand s...
