Neozygites tanajoaeis a host-specific acaropathogen introduced in the late1990s from Brazil into cassava fields in West Africa for biocontrol ofthe cassava green mite (Mononychellus tanajoa). Local African isolates ofN. tanajoaeare morphologically similar to introduced Brazilian strainsbut the ...

Pathogenicity and host specificity of Brazilian and African isolates of the acaropathogenic fungus Neozygites tanajoae to mite species associated with cassava
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 ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in subSaharan Savannahs of Benin, West Africa, as affected by agricultural land use intensity and ecological zone
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...
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 ...
