Rice insect pest management in Nigeria is compartmentalized; literature documenting the status of research on the biology and significance of insect pests and on their management, has therefore been reviewed. A holistic, broadly based, multidisciplinary pest-management research approach is sugges...

Biology, status and management of rice insect pest in Nigeria
survey of rice insect pests conducted during 1983–87 in Nigeria revealed 70 species of pests, 14 parasitoids and two predators. Both incidence and severity of pests varied considerably across different climatic zones and rice agro‐ecosystems. Thirteen Insects were classified as major pests. They ...

Planthopper-rice interactions: unequal stresses on pure-line and hybrid rice under similar experimental conditions
Rice breeding in West Africa has been largely skewed toward yield enhancement and stress tolerance. This has led to the variable grain quality of locally produced rice in the region. This study sought to assess variations in the agronomic and grain quality traits of some rice varieties grown in t...

Remote sensing technology for monitoring plant trains has a huge potential to accelerate breeding process. In this paper, we have studied on remote sensing of using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system for plant traits phenotyping in rice. The images of rice canopy were taken by a RGB camera f...
Rice was grown in an inland valley (fadama) region of central Nigeria. Plots were cultivated using oxen either in the dry season or at the beginning of the wet season. Around 25% more time was required for dry season cultivation but this enabled an average saving of 53•5 h/ha during the most crit...

The introduction of animal traction into inland valley regions. 2. Dry season cultivation and the use of herbicides in rice
Rice sheath blight (ShB), caused by the soilborne pathogen Rhizoctonia
solani, annually causes severe losses in yield and quality in many
rice production areas worldwide. Jasmine 85 is an indica cultivar that has
proven to have a high level of resistance to this pathogen. The objective
of this st...

Mapping quantitative trait loci responsible for resistance to sheath blight in rice
To facilitate the creation of easily comparable, low-resolution genetic maps with evenly distributed markers in rice (Oryza sativa L.), we conceived of and developed a Universal Core Genetic Map (UCGM). With this aim, we derived a set of 165 anchors, representing clusters of three microsatellite ...
