In Benin, yam production continues to face numerous production constraints, including yield and quality reduction by Scutellonema bradys. Implementation of efficient management techniques against this pest requires an improved understanding, including at the molecular level, of the pest. The curr...

The use of commercial inoculants containing non-indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is an emerging technology towards improving crop production in Africa. The present study aims at evaluating the influence of two strains of commercial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) products, based o...
Pests and diseases of bananas (Musa spp.) threaten the livelihoods of over 20million people in the Great Lakes region. Geographic information systems (GIS)provide valuable tools in monitoring, predicting, managing and fighting the spreadof pests and diseases. The tools offer opportunities for cos...

During sampling of several Coffea arabica plantations in Tanzania severe root galling, caused by a root-knot nematode was observed. From pure cultures, morphology and morphometrics of juveniles and females matched perfectly with Meloidogyne africana, whereas morphology of the males matched identi...

Yam (Dioscoreaspp.) is a tuberous staple foodcrop of major importance in the sub-Saharan savannas ofWest Africa. Optimal yields commonly are obtained only inthe first year following slash-and-burn in the shifting cul-tivation systems. It appears that the yield decline in sub-sequent years is not ...

Challenges for the improvement of seed systems for vegetatively propagated crops in Eastern Africa.
The damage caused by plant parasitic nematodes to crops is often attributed to other pests and diseases, especially in developing countries where resources sometimes make it difficult to identify and quantify the nematode problem. This book is an easy-to-follow practical guide on nematode assessm...
