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...
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...

Bacterial blight of cassava is a serious problem in Central and South America and has been observed in parts of Africa. Symptoms include leaf spotting, wilting, dieback, gum exudation on young shoots, and vascular discoloration in mature stems and roots of susceptible cultivars. Dispersal by rain...
A method of rooting shoot tips is described, whereby plants free from cassava bacterial blight were produced. The use of this method, in addition to cultural practices, is proposed for producing pathogen-free foundation stock for a planting material certification program. (AS)
