Cassava is an important food staple in the coastal provinces of east and southern Africa. However, its production is adversely affected by cassava brown streak virus disease (CBSD). CBSD first reported from Amani, Tanzania in 1936, is now considered to be one of the major biotic constraints to ca...

Economic losses experienced by smallscale farmers in Malawi due to cassava brown streak virus disease
Plant viruses cause major losses to several agricultural and horticultural crops around the world. Unlike other plant pathogens, there are no direct methods available yet to control viruses and, consequently, the current measures rely on indirect tactics to manage the viral diseases. Hence, metho...
Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) is a very serious disease in many cassava growing areas of the Eastern zone of Tanzania. It is mainly confined to the lower elevations, mainly along the coast yield losses of up to 74% occur as a result of CBSD infection in some part of the Eastern zone. In the...

In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), many crops grown by subsistence farmers are severely affected by virus diseases. These diseases are distinct from each other and have various means of spread and perennation. Many are widely distributed in the region. The causal agents of several virus diseases have b...

Because of IITA's interest in cassava utilization by humans and livestock, selection for acyanogenesis will be an important objective of the cassava-breeding program. Selection for acyanogenesis will be based on finding cassava lines that lack the glucoside, glucosidase, and/or the glucoside and ...
A cause de l'interet que porte I'IITA a l'utilisation du manioc par I'homme et Ie betail, un objectif important de son programme de recherche sur la genetique du manioc visera a la selection de plants pour leur acyogenese. A cette fin, on tentera de decourvrir des Iignees de manioc depourvues de ...
