The effect of microwaves on the eradication of fungal and bacterial pathogens in cassava sexual seed was investigated. Healthy mature fruits were collected and dried under ambient conditions. Seeds were selected according to specific wt. by placing them in a glass of water and discarding those th...

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...

Studies on the translocation of the causal agent of cassava bacterial blight (considered to be a biotype of Xanthomonas manihotis) within the host tissues showed that this pathogen moves mainly through the xylem tissue. The primary stem symptoms appear on the green portion of the stem, but their ...

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...
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 ...

The predominant farming system in La Colorada (Magdalena, Colombia), where cassava is a subsistence crop, is briefly reviewed. The intensive land use has caused soil leaching and infestation with root pathogens such as Diplodia manihotis and Fusarium oxysporum and cassava production has decreased...
