Abstract Background Cassava whitefly outbreaks were initially reported in East and Central Africa cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) growing regions in the 1990’s and have now spread to other geographical locations, becoming a global pest severely affecting farmers and smallholder income. Whitefl...

Although numerous studies of diversity have been conducted in cassava, there is no comprehensive assessment of global genetic diversity. Here we draw on previous studies and breeders’ knowledge to select diversity sets from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and the Intern...

A knowledge of the extent of genetic variation in a crop is a prerequisite for its improvement. In cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) such knowledge is lacking especially at the DNA level. The genetic variation among 28 cassava varieties collected from different locations in the Republic of Benin...

La connaissance de l'importance de variation genetique chez une culture est necessaire pour son amelioration. Chez le manioc (Manihot esculenta Crantz), une telle connaissance manque surtout au niveau du DNA. La variation genetique parmi les 28 varietes du manioc recueillies de differentes locali...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas Lam) are important food and cash crops in Malawi. However, key information regarding varieties grown, sources of planting materials, post-harvest handling, utilisation and tuber yields is lacking. A study was, therefore, conducte...

Le manioc (Manihot esculenta Crantz) et la patate douce (Ipomoea batatas Lam) sont des importants aliments et plantes génératrices de ressources en Malawi. Cependant, l\'information clé concernant les variétés plantées, les sources de matériels de plantation, les manœuvres post-récoltes, l\'utili...

Typhlodromallus aripo, a predatory phytoseiid species of the cassava green mite Mononychellus tanajoa was introduced to the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1998. It established easily and spread quickly to other areas from the sites of first release. But its dispersal was constrained by intense c...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important starchy food crop in the inland valley ecosystem areas in West Africa where harvesting and marketing infrastructure is not optimal and postharvest losses are high. An attempt was therefore made to assess the genotypic variability of physiological...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the second most important staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa, providing up to 285 calories per person per day. Cassava starch is a potentially important industrial material in Malawi. Industries hesitate to use cassava starch because the powder sold by so...

The effect of the application of ethyl parathion, trichlorfon, diflubenzuron, and Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki to eggs of Erinnyis ello, before and after being parasitized by Trichogramma exiguum and Telenomus sphingis, was studied. Insecticides were also tested on the adults of these par...

Five new marker genes in cassava are described; they control the following traits: chlorophyll production in seedlings, stem growth habit, stem collenchyma color, root parenchyma color, and leaf lobe shape (pandurate vs. normal). Names were proposed for each loci and dominant and recessive phenot...
