The bean fly (Ophiomyia spp.) is considered the most economically damaging field insect pest of common beans in Uganda. Despite the use of existing pest management approaches, reported damage has remained high. Forty-eight traditional and improved common bean varieties currently grown in farmers’...

The use of cassava-based feedstuffs seems promising, especially for swine; however, toxic factors must be taken into account when diets are formulated. In Africa, cassava consumption is indicated as one of the factors responsible for the tropical ataxic neuropathy syndrome observed in Nigeria: it...

To evaluate the influence of the depth of a compacted layer in the yields of some vegetables, in an Andisol, (Tibaitata, Sabana de Bogota) experimental plots compacted to 5, 10, 15 and 30 cm were used. Each depth resembled the compactation caused by the constant use of rotovator, light harrow, he...

Root rots occur in all the zones where beans are cultivated in the world. Fusarium spp., Pythium spp., Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii, and Macrophomina phaseoli are found among the responsable microorganisms. Each pathogen developes according to its own optimum conditions. Problems are gr...
