On-farm and on-station field experiments were carried out to determine the potential of combining Bacillus subtilis with soil fertility management practices on plant parasitic nematodes and growth of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The treatments were Bacillus subtilis (isolate K194), B. subtil...

Two viruses naturally infect Musa in Nigeria: banana streak badnavirus (BSV) and cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV). During a recent field survey at Ibadan (Nigeria), some severely stunted banana plants (cv. Valery) were found that tested negative for CMV, banana bunchy-top virus, and BSV. The pla...

Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) is the most serious threat to sustainable banana production in East and Central Africa. Before the advent of BXW major biotic constraints were black leaf streak (Sigatoka), Fusarium wilt, bunchy top and streak viruses, weevils and nematodes. The rapid spread of BXW has dive...

About 150 pests of cassava are cited. About 110 are insects and the rest are nematodes (38), arachnids (3) and chilopods (1). Insects are listed by orders; the stage causing damage, type of damage, and distribution are listed as well. (CIAT)
A survey was conducted on 205 soil samples collected from 12 sites in Colombia of different crops, including beans on which the research was mainly focussed (132 soil samples from 10 sites), in order to characterize problems of nematodes in the different regions, make comparisons, and suggest res...
