The use of commercial inoculants containing non-indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is an emerging technology towards improving crop production in Africa. The present study aims at evaluating the influence of two strains of commercial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) products, based o...
Yam (Dioscoreaspp.) is a tuberous staple foodcrop of major importance in the sub-Saharan savannas ofWest Africa. Optimal yields commonly are obtained only inthe first year following slash-and-burn in the shifting cul-tivation systems. It appears that the yield decline in sub-sequent years is not ...

We collected twigs of Lannea nigritiana (Sc. Elliot) Keay attacked by the girdling cerambycid Analeptes trifasciata F. in the Lama forest of central Benin, West Africa. Emergence data from A. trifasciata wood samples revealed a diverse insect fauna, which consisted of 27 primarily coleopteran spe...
