Progress in pest management on cassava (Manihot esculenta) in Africa has witnessed remarkable achievements over recent years in the management of African cassava mosaic virus, cassava mealy bug, cassava green mite and overall germplasm improvement for yield improvements. From the scant informatio...

Advances in yam and cassava nematology research at IITA
Yams (Dioscorea spp.) are food crops of growing significance in sub Saharan Africa. Unfortunately, nematodes are major pests to their production. A study was undertaken in major yam growing areas of Uganda to investigate the association of plant parasitic nematodes with damage symptoms. Nemato...
Les ignames (Dioscorea spp.) sont une culture alimentaire d’importance croissante en Afrique sub–saharienne.Malheureusement, les nématodes sont des parasites majeurs qui gênent sa production. Une étude était menéedans les principales régions productrices de l’igname en Ouganda en vue de pouvoir ...

We propose a novel indicator measuring one dimension of the sustainability of an entity in modern societies: Nitrogen-neutrality. N-neutrality strives to offset Nr releases an entity exerts on the environment from the release of reactive nitrogen (Nr) to the environment by reducing it and by offs...

A field trial was established at Sendusu. 40 km north of Kampala. Uganda, to evaluate the response of yarn lines, developed by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), to nematode infestation. The field was naturally infested with nematodes and plants were established from tiss...

Evaluation of yam host-plant response to rootknot nematodes in Uganda
Although root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are a widely distributed pest of yam (Dioscorea spp.), the level
of damage the yams incur, either alone or in association with other plant-parasitic nematodes is largely undetermined.
The current study assessed the damage Meloidogyne spp. caused in ...
