The virus associated with mosaic disease of sorghum growing around the sugarcane fields in Andhra Pradesh state, India was found to be serologically related to the Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SStMV) and Sorghum mosaic Parbhani virus (SMPV). The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (...

The effect of methionine supplementation to diets conatining high levels (~ 65%) of cassava meal (CM) were studied with gestating and lactating gilts as well as with growing-finishing pigs. In both experiments, methionine supplementation did not improve (P>.05) the results obtained with the unsup...

In many traditionally managed agroecosystems, populations of domesticated plants maintain high levels of genetic diversity. The threat of erosion of this diversity is a current conservation concern, motivating studies of how diversity can be maintained by in situ conservation measures. Precisely ...

Infestation of cereals and cowpeas by Striga species constitute a major constraint to increased crop pro-ductivity in the savannas of northern Nigeria. Field surveys were undertaken in Jigawa State, Nigeria in2012 to assess (i) the level and extent of Strgia infestation of cereal and cowpea field...
