Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based applications in plant molecular biology and molecular diagnostics for plant pathogens require good quality DNA for reliable and reproducible results. Leaf tissue is often the choice for DNA extraction, but the use of other sources such as tubers, stems, or se...
The efficacy of four biological control agents (BCAs): Trichoderma asperellum strain NGT158, T. longibrachiatum strain NGT167, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens for the management of post-harvest tuber rot among four yam species, Dioscorea rotundata, D. cayenensis, D. alata, and D. du...
Biological control is a significant component of integrated pest management programs around the world. However, uncertainty about the risk of unanticipated effects on non-target organisms is one of the major concerns surrounding the release of biological control agents. This Brief has been prepar...
Diseases caused by viral, fungal and bacterial pathogens pose great threat to food security in Africa. Use of disease resistant cultivars is among the most preferred tactic for disease control by smallholder farmers in Africa, who cannot afford cost intensive chemical inputs or labor intensive cr...
Field surveys were conducted in 2012 and 2013 to evaluate the distribution and virulence of fungal isolates associated with tuber rot disease among yam (Dioscorea spp.) producing agroecological zones (AEZs) of Nigeria. A total of 70 and 66 farmers’ fields were surveyed in 2012 and 2013, respectiv...
Tuber rot disease is a major constraint to white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) production, accounting for 50-60% of annual yield losses in Nigeria. The main method of control using synthetic fungicides is being discouraged due to human and environmental health hazards. The potential of Oryza sativa h...
