The different alternatives for disease control in cassava, reported as efficient and that could be taken into account when designing technological packages for cassava production, are summarized. These are cultu-ral control (crop rotation, planting on furrows, elimination of crop resi-dues, dista...
The main pathological problems of the cassava crop are summarized. Four bacterial diseases have been identified and their causal agents characterized: CBB, angular leaf spot, bacterial stem rot, and bacterial stem gall. Two mycoplasmal problems, witches` broom and antholysis, have been identified...
African animal trypanosomosis is a parasitic disease that afflicts livestock across much of sub-Saharan Africa. The disease, primarily transmitted by the tsetse fly (Glossina spp.), causes morbidity and mortality in several species of livestock. It is particularly important in southern Burkina Fa...

Some methodologies, including examples, for developing bean var. specifically adapted to intercropping with maize are considered. Since every breeding program has to contend with genotype x environment interactions, decisions have to be made regarding the locations for breeding nurseries, the con...

This study is conducted with a general objective of evaluating contingent valuation as a method for assessing the willingness of people at a site in the Ghibe Valley of Ethiopia to contribute labour, time and money to tsetse control. The more specific objectives of the case study were to evalua...

Using contingent valuation to assess the prospects for local participation in public good provision: The case of trypanosomiasis control in Ethiopia
The subhumid and semi-arid zones of West Africa are one of the subregions reputed to hold Africa's greatest potential for expansion of animal agriculture. Within this region livestock are affected by tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis-a disease that severely constrains productivity, thus hampering...

The exploitation of resistance traits very much relies on the understanding of the mechanisms underlying trypanotolerance, their characterisation in the field, the identification of practical measures of trypanotolerance characteristics, the evaluation of their linkage with final livestock output...

In the Philippines, management of grazing flock like rotational grazing is not being done as a parasite control, but to improve the condition of the pasture and the nutritional status of the animals. Posas (1981) compared goat production and impact of soil, pasture, and coconut production. Rotati...
