Losses in root and planting material production caused by different pests as well as their biological control are evaluated. Studies of pests damaging dried cassava in storage were initiated. Biological aspects and form of attack of the following pests are described: stemborers (Lagochirus rogers...
Results are presented of entomology and acarology research conducted in cassava to develop effective, cost-efficient, environmentally sound crop protection methodologies which stabilize production and thus eliminate the need for pesticide use. Emphasis was made on biological control, host plant r...
Se presentan los resultados de investigacion en entomologia y acarologia de yuca con el fin de desarrollar metodologias para proteger el cultivo efectivas, ambientalmente acertadas y de bajo costo que estabilizaria la produccion y asi se evitaria el uso de pesticidas. Se hace enfasis en el contro...
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...

To improve biocontrol of the cassava green mite, Mononychellus tanajoa, a series of screenhouse experiments were conducted on cassava to determine the effects of single and combined releases of the predatory mite Typhlodromalus aripo and the entomopathogenic fungus Neozygites tanajoae on the supp...

Little is known about the inheritance of agronomic traits in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). The vegetative multiplication of cassava allows cloning of individual genotypes, and separates environmental from genetic variation in the within-family variation. Knowing the magnitude of between- an...

Interspecific predation and cannibalism are common types of interaction in phytoseiid predator guilds, but the extent and nature of these interactions have not been determined yet in phytoseiid guilds composed of African native and neotropical exotic phytoseiid predators found in cassava habitat ...

Potential geographic distribution of two invasive cassava green mites
Two Brazilian isolates and one Benin (indigenous) isolate of Neozygites floridana were released against the cassava green mite, Mononychellus tanajoa , in January 1999 in the Adjohoun district, Ouémé administrative region, Republic of Benin. Post-release monitoring conducted 8, 14, 22 and 36 week...
