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...
The reasons an integrated pest and disease control in cassava is justified are analyzed. Some cultural practices are listed that would lessen the problems caused by negative production factors within an ecosystem and would give high stable yields. Recommendations are given to maintain and enrich ...
Se analizan las razones que justifican un control integrado de plagas y enfermedades de la yuca. Se enumeran algunas practicas culturales que reducirian los problemas ocasionados por los factores negativos de la produccion en un ecosistema y originarian altos rendimientos estables. Se presentan r...

The different alternatives for disease control in cassava, registered as efficient and considered as possible candidates for inclusion in technological packages for cassava cultivation, are summarized. Certain specific characteristics of cassava and its cultivation that should be considered when ...
Se resumen las diferentes alternativas que para el control de enfermedades en yuca se han registrado como eficientes y que podrian tenerse en cuenta al proyectar paquetes tecnologicos para la produccion de ese cultivo. Se enumeran ciertas caracteristicas especificas de la yuca y su cultivo que se...
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)

The main pathological problems of the cassava crop are summarized. Four bacterial diseases have been identified and their causal agents characterized: CBB, angular leaf spot, bacterial stem rot, and bacterial stem gall. Two mycoplasmal problems, witches` broom and antholysis, have been identified...
Phyllody, previously unreported in Brazil, was observed in several cassava cv. and hybrids planted in exptl. plots of the Centro Nacional de Pesquisa de Mandioca e Fruticultura in Cruz das Almas. The effect of the disease on production is not known; however, it poses a serious threat to the cassa...
Data on max. and min. severity of attacks by Xanthomonas campestris pv. manihotis, Choanephora cucurbitarum, and Sphaceloma manihoticola were gathered on commercial plantations located in 4 regions of Sucre, Colombia. Regional clones Venezolana and Preta were used. In the region of Bongo, neither...

Greenhouse studies on pathogenic variability of Xanthomonas manihotis did not reveal the occurrence of distinct pathogenic races. The non-race status of the pathogen suggests that CBB could be well-controlled in the field by using known levels of genotype resistance in specific ecosystems and by ...
