Research results obtained during 1975-87 on the biocontrol of cassava pathogens are summarized with emphasis on the use of fluorescent pseudomonads as biocontrol agents in different cassava production systems. Evidence of biocontrol of Uromyces spp. by the mycoparasite Darluca filum is reviewed. ...
CIAT`s contribution to this joint research program was (1) to develop a technique for the production of bacteria-free planting stocks of cassava and (2) to study the effect of physical therapeutic agents on vegetative material used for propagation. The propagation technique developed to produce C...

Inactivation of pathogenic organisms of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) by heat and other treatments
The most important bacterial disease of cassava is cassava bacterial blight (CBB). This disease was first recorded in Brazil but was later reported in Colombia and observed in several other countries in South America and Africa. Symptoms of this disease are leaf spotting, wilting, dieback and gum...
Based on the considerations related to the characteristics of cassava, centers of origin, and the traditional system of cultivation, several conclusions were made regarding the relationships between the plant and NPFs, constituted by disease and pest pressures and edaphic and climatic factors. It...

Bacterial wilt of cassava (Manihot esculenta) is the most serious disease in Central and South America, and it has recently been reported in Africa. The symptoms are foliage lesions, dieback, exudation of gum from the young sprouts, and vascular necrosis of stems and roots of susceptible cultivar...
