Responding to food supply shocks through global partnerships in technology development and transfer: the case of the IITAled biological control of cassava mealybug in subSaharan Africa
Neoseiulus baraki Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) has been reported from the Americas, Africa and Asia, often in association with Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Acari: Eriophyidae), one of the most important pests of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) in different parts of the world. That phytoseiid ha...
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 ...

Insects and mites that attack cassava are described and grouped according to the part of the plant affected, and some control measures are given: (1) Insects that attack planting material: scale insects (Aonidomytilus albus), fruit flies (Anastrepha spp.) and stemborers (Coleoptera). (2) Cuttings...

Potential for biological control in the management of cassava pests
In 1980 major studies on entomology were directed to accumulating information on the complex of insects that attack the cassava crop, emphasizing biological control studies of important pests, especially Erinnyis ello and Phenacoccus sp. Basic studies on the stemborer (Chilomina clarkei) were con...
