Banana and plantain (Musa spp.), produced in 10.3 million ha in the tropics, are among
the world's top 10 food crops. They are vegetatively propagated using suckers or tissue
culture plants and grown almost as perennial plantations. These are prone to the accumulation
of pests and pathogens, espe...

Cocoa mirids, Sahlbergella singularis and Distantiella theobroma, are the most economically important insect pests of cocoa in West and Central Africa, where they can cause up to 40% losses in cocoa yields. Sahlbergella singularis is the most common species in Cameroon and was therefore targeted ...
