IITA's research in breeding cassava and sweet potato for resistance to pests and diseases of major economic importance in Africa is discussed under the headings: breeding cassava for resistance to pests (cassava green spider mite (Mononychellus progresivus and M. tanajoa) and cassava mealybug (Ph...
The cassava diseases of major economic importance in Africa are cassava mosaic, bacterial blight, and anthracnose, and the major cassava pests are cassava mealybug and green spider mite. Methods of screening cassava breeding material for resistance to the diseases and pests in the light of factor...
En Afrique, les maladies et ennemis du manioc d'une grande imponance economique sontrespectivement la br0lure bacterienne, I'anthracnose et la mosai,que dans le premiercas et la cochenilledans le second. Des discussions ont eu lieu sur des m6thodes de s6lection du materiel genetique demanioc i la...
Most cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) improvement programs depend on the range of variability available within the cultigen for breeding varieties adapted to target environments. Efforts by some programs to introduce additional variability from wild Manihot species into cassava have led to impr...
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) contains cyanogenic glucosides which lead to the release of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) after hydrolysis. A study carried out using six cassava populations revealed that the broad-sense heritability for HCN was relatively low at 34.58 and 32.18 percent in roots and l...
Forty-seven cultivars of cassava in IITA's trials were screened for their reaction to infection by Colletotrichum gloesporiodes f. sp. manihotis in the field. The following parameters were observed: (a) distance of first canker from the soil, (b) total number of cankers per plant, (c) size of can...
Cassava is well recognized for its capacity to address food needs of vulnerable communities in unstable environments in SSA. IITA and colleagues in African NARS, in collaboration with CIAT and ARIs have played leading roles in the development of improved cassava varieties which are disease and pe...
