Experiments were conducted at Ibadan, Nigeria to assess the effect of leaf trichome characteristics (pubescence intensity index, length, and orientation) on field resistance of cassava to the green spider mite, Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar). There were significant (P < 0.01) differences in M. ta...

The population dynamics of Mononychellus tanajoa as influenced by varietal resistance of cassava was determined over two cassava planting seasons (dry and wet season), using biweekly samples from 11 cassava genotypes in Ibadan, Nigeria. The population size of M. tanajoa and the damage scores were...

This work was done at the International Center of Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), with the objective of checking the effect of differents food sources on the fertility of Amblyseius limonicus Garman & McGregor (Acarina: Phytoseiidae), predator of green mite (Mononychellus tanajoa) in cassava culture...

Cassava green mite [CGM, Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar)] is a dry-season pest that usually feeds on the underside of young leaves causing leaf chlorosis, stunted growth, and root yield reduction by 80%. Since cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) leaves and roots serve as a primary staple food sourc...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important commodity for industrial processes in tropical countries as one of the few alternatives to compete with imported maize (Zea mays L.). To maintain this competitiveness, cassava breeding needs to be as efficient as possible. This study provides one...

In Africa the cassava green mite, Mononychellus tanajoa, is an important pest of cassava, Manihot esculenta. Phytoseiid mites from South America are being evaluated as potential biological control agents of this alien pest. We evaluated six phytoseiid (Acari: Phytoseiidae) species, collected in S...

Genotype x environment (G x E) interactions frequently complicate breeding efforts and delay progress in selection. The cassava green spider mite (CGM) (Mononychellus tanajoa Bondar) is a serious constraint to Cassava production in Africa. Nine cassava genotypes were grown at 6 representative loc...

and influenced the relative ranking of genotypes across environments. The magnitude 01 the G x E interaction effect for CGM was higher than that for genotypes. Clone 63397 had the smallest interaction for CGM, showing stability in response to the pest across agroecologies. TME 1 suffered the leas...

The within-plant distribution of the cassava green spider mite, Mononychellus tanajoa Bondar, and the anatomical characteristics and the chemical components relating to varietal resistance of cassava, were studied using 11 cassava genotypes with varying levels of resistance for two dry seasons an...

The attraction of the predatory mites, Typhlodromalus manihoti and Typhlodromalus aripo, to the host plant-spider mite complex, Manihot esculenta–Mononychellus tanajoa, was investigated with a Y-tube olfactometer. Factors examined included predator starvation period, several combinations of cassa...
