It is well recognized that the quality of host plants affects the development and survival of plant-feeding arthropods. The effects of two leafy vegetable crops, amaranth, Amaranthus cruentus L. (Caryophyllales: Amaranthaceae) and nightshade, Solanum macrocarpon L. (Solanales: Solanaceae) were ex...

Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) was first reported from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in the 1950s, has become invasive and spread into 11 countries in the region. To determine the potential threat of BBTV to the production of bananas and plantains (Musa spp.) in...

This is the fifth publication in a series to determine the phytoseiid mites of sub-Saharan Africa. Thirty-one phytoseiid species of the subtribe Amblyseiina are reported in this paper. They refer to all species of this subtribe known to occur in sub-Saharan Africa. Ten of these species are descri...

The need to evaluate non-target effects of classical biological control of arthropod pests has received considerable attention in recent years. We determined with repeated field surveys the changes in abundance and distribution of the phytoseiid mite fauna in cassava fields resulting from the int...

The establishment of the neotropical predatory mite Typhlodromalus aripo in sub-Saharan Africa has resulted in broadly successful biological control of the cassava green mite Mononychellus tanajoa throughout the cassava belt of Africa. In some mid-altitude areas and drier lowland savannahs of sub...

Population growth and the expansion of small holders and industrial and large scale agriculture are considered to be major drivers of deforestation and forest degradation in the Congo Basin. Various innovations in agricultural practices are necessary to improve productivity, enhance producer live...

Cassava green mite, Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar) has been a major pest of cassava since its accidental introduction in Africa. Studies conducted recently on its biological control in the major cassava growing areas in Kenya demonstrate definite establishment of Typhlodromalus aripo in Kenya. Th...

A countrywide survey on cassava constraints in D.R. Congo was initiated in 2002 and completed in 2004 with the aim of assessing the health status of cassava in various agro-ecological zones of the 11 provinces of the country. The survey permitted to update the list of diseases and pests that cont...

Two surveys were conducted in Tanzania in May- June 2003 and June-August 2004 to determine the incidence and severity of several cassava arthropod pests including cassava green mite, cassava mealybug, spiralling whitefly, Bemisia spp., cassava scale, red mite, Zonocerus elegans, and several speci...
