Banana (Musaspp.) in East Africa is threatened by pests and diseases, of which the burrowingnematode, Radopholus similis, is among the most serious and difficult to control. Fungal antagonists, such as Paecilomyces spp., can aid in controlling R. similis. In this study, Paecilomyces spp. was isol...

El cultivo de banano (Musaspp.) en Africa Oriental se ve afectado por plagas y enfermedades, en-tre las cuales el nematodo barrenador, Radopholus similis,es uno de los más serios y difíciles de con-trolar. Los hongos antagonistas, como Paecilomycesspp., pueden ayudar a controlar R. similis. En es...

Aspergillus allahabadii, previously reported only from soils in India and El Salvador, was isolated from root-knot nematode egg masses (Meloidogyne spp.) in vegetable fields in Benin. Three populations were recovered from separate fields in the Guinea savannah region from tomato and/or cabbage. T...

The root-knot nematodes (RKN), Meloidogyne spp., represent an important threat to yam (Dioscorea spp.) production in West Africa. With the aim to establish the diversity of RKN species affecting yam tubers, for control and resistance screening purposes, surveys were conducted in the main yam prod...

The rapid decline of soil fertility of cultivated lands in the sub-Saharan savannas of West Africa is considered to be the main cause of the increasingly severeconstraints of food production. The soils in this tropical area are highly fragile, and crop yields are limited bycharacteristically low ...

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 ...
