This study was conducted to investigate a cheap and readily available alternative control measure for cassava anthracnose disease causal agent (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides f. sp. manihotis), through the use of antimicrobial crude plant extracts such as neem (Azadirachta indica), bitter leaf (V...

Fifty-three cassava lines were selected from breeding populations at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria and screened in vitro for resistance to cassava anthracnose disease (CAD). The in vitro inoculation of stem cuttings with the fungus Colletotrichum gloe...

Manihotis]In vitro, greenhouse, and field assessment of cassava lines for resistance to anthracnose disease caused by colletotrichum gloeosporiodes f. sp. Manihotis

A survey was conducted in 1994 to describe the maize storage systems, quantify the aflatoxin levels in these storage systems, and identify the main problems of maize storage recognized by both men and women farmers in five agroecological zones in Nigeria. Maize storage in bags was the most common...

Thirty-five cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), germplasm collection were planted in May 1992 under natural disease infection conditions, at the IITA field plots at Ibadan, Nigeria. The genotypes were evaluated at monthly i...

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of Pseudotheraptus devastans in cassava anthracnose disease transmission and development. P. devastans, Dist (Het. Coriedae) insects were collected from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) field plots at the International Institute of Tropical Agri...

The response of yam (Dioscorea) cultivars to artificial and natural infections with minisett rot pathogens was investigated. None of the 20 yam cultivars were resistant to Sclerotium rolfsii [Corticium rolfsii] or Trichoderma longibrachyatum. Cultivars TDa 84/093, 85/236, 85/257, TDr 608, 745, 81...

Thirty isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides f. sp. manihotis causal organism of cassava anthracnose disease (CAD), were collected from cankers on cassava stems in cassava-growing zones of Nigeria. Using a pathogenicity test, five virulent isolates (05FCN, 10FCN, 12FCN, 18FCN and 26FCN) were...

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...

An international project to assess the extent of aflatoxin contamination of maize in West Africa has begun in Nigeria. A survey was conducted from October 1992 to July 1993 to identify maize storage systems used by farmers in five major agro-ecological zones in Nigeria and the problem associated ...
