The different alternatives for disease control in cassava, reported as efficient and that could be taken into account when designing technological packages for cassava production, are summarized. These are cultu-ral control (crop rotation, planting on furrows, elimination of crop resi-dues, dista...
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...
