Yams (Dioscorea spp.) are food crops of growing significance in sub Saharan Africa. Unfortunately, nematodes are major pests to their production. A study was undertaken in major yam growing areas of Uganda to investigate the association of plant parasitic nematodes with damage symptoms. Nemato...
Les ignames (Dioscorea spp.) sont une culture alimentaire d’importance croissante en Afrique sub–saharienne.Malheureusement, les nématodes sont des parasites majeurs qui gênent sa production. Une étude était menéedans les principales régions productrices de l’igname en Ouganda en vue de pouvoir ...

The yam nematode,Scutellonema bradys, which can cause dry rot disease of yam (Dioscoreaspp.), was recorded forthe first time from Costa Rica in four species of yam occurring in the Atlantic and north regions. Morphometric measurements fromtwo populations from each region using ten female and 11 m...

The effect of intercropping cover crops was with yam was assessed for nematode management both inpot and field conditions in Nigeria. The cover crops were sown with yams in pots containing sterile soiland inoculated with 5000 eggs of Meloidogyne incognita. In the field, each cover crop was separa...

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...
