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...

Effective management of plant-parasitic nematodes
affecting yams includes practices that can break the pest cycle
from field to store. This study evaluated nematode population
changes under cover crop cultivation following a main yam
crop. Ten cover crops were planted after the harvest of the yam...

Yam tuber dry rot caused by Scutellonema bradys results in the reduction of tuber quality. Studies were conducted on the effect of intercropping cover crops with yams on nematode damage to tubers. Eleven cover crops were intercropped with yams in pot screen house and field experiments. Plants wer...
