A stem gall nematode is reported for the first time on the promising tropical pasture legume Desmodium ovalifolium CIAT 350 in Colombia. Stem galling was usually associated with damage caused by animal trampling. The nematode has been identified as a new genus of the family Anguinidae.

Pterotylenchus cecidogenus n. gen., n. sp. from stem-galls of Desmodium ovalifolium Wall. in Colombia is described and illustrated. The new genus belongs to Anguinidae and is related to Orrina Brzeski, 1980 but is unique in having large vulval flaps. P. cecidogenus has females with body 0.59-0.8 ...

Variation for nine virulence and four electrophoretic characters was determined for 69 samples of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides collected in five natural stands of its host, Stylosanthes guianensis, in South America. Virulence phenotypes varied from four in the Quilichao population to 22 in the ...

A survey of three regions of Colombia revealed a total of 31 species of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with tropical pasture legumes and grasses. Seventeen of these nematode species had not been recorded previously in Colombia. There also are 120 newly reported associations of plant-parasit...
Rust caused by Puccinia stylosanthis is reported for the first time on native populations of Stylosanthes aurea and S. guianensis var. pauciflora in the vicinity of Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Although not common in May 1983, rust severely affected 50% of S. aurea and moderately affected mo...
The detection of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne javanica, as a pathogen of Desmodium spp. in Colombia, is the first reported case in South Aemerica. In the field, promising pasture legumes D. gyroides, D. heterocarpon and D. ovalifolium were severely damaged, while adjacent stands of Centros...

In recent years, increasing numbers of pathogens and pests have been reported from major centres of tropical pasture research. Damage is often severe and controls are needed. Diseases and pests may be controlled chemically, biologically, culturally and genetically. In pasture plants genetical res...

A wide range of fungi, two bacteria and several viruses and nematodes have been recorded throughout the tropics on a group of Cassia species defined as taxonomically and geographically related to Cassia rotundifolia. Although limited information was found on the relative importance of these patho...
Fungal pathogens representing 36 genera and over 70 species, one bacterium, mycoplasma-like-organisms, at least six viruses, five races of root-knot nematodes and six other nematodes have been recorded on 18 Desmodium species of agronomic interest throughout tropical regions. Although limited inf...
