Beauveria bassiana, which is effective against a variety of insect pests, is the most researched and commercialised fungal biopesticide. Laboratory and screenhouse studies have revealed great potential of this entomopathogenic fungus for use against the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, in ba...

Over recent years, pest and disease epidemics have affected the reliability of the main food crops in Uganda. Attempts to improve crop diversity therefore, and reduce reliance on the key staple crops, have included the promotion of yam (Dioscorea spp.) through the introduction of improved cultiva...

Radopholus similisis a major pest of East African highland cooking bananas (Musaspp.) in Uganda. Non-pathogenic Fusariumoxysporumendophytes, isolated from bananas in farmers’ fields, have shown potential to reduceR. Similis numbers in tissue culture banana. The mechanism through which endophyte...

Using two commercially available arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) products, one based on Funneliformis mosseae and the other on Glomus dussii, an experiment was conducted to assess their effect on yam growth and ability to suppress nematode damage in pots. Four yam cultivars (cvs) were used: t...

Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, an entomopathogenic fungus, can exist asymptomatically as an endophyte in banana (Musa spp.) and potentially provide management against the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar). However, in order to optimize its biological control potential when dep...

Plant-parasitic nematodes cause serious damage on banana in Africa. Affected plants are less able to access nutrients and water, leading to yield losses, particularly under nutrient- and water-stressed conditions. Heavily affected plants often topple, with consequent total loss of bunches, while ...

The Cerrado is the largest savanna biome in the Neotropics and considered a major hotspot for world biodiversity. However, over recent decades the area has increasingly been converted to intensive agricultural ecosystems, primarily for soybean production. Conservation tillage systems have gained ...

Two major biotic constraints to highland cooking banana (Musa spp., genome group AAA-EA) production in Uganda are the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus and the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis. Endophytic Fusarium oxysporum strains inoculated into tissue culture banana plantlets have shown...
