Plantain grown after forest slash-and-burn raises concerns due to the release of CO2 and the destruction of biodiversity. Plantain yields are presented after forest biomass was burned or retained in combination with sucker sanitation versus traditional planting. Biomass burning did not affect pla...

Three methods of placement of VA mycorrhiza inoculum to cassava were compared in the field in order to determine the effect of inoculation methodology on the spread of the introduced fungus in the soil. The spread of the indigenous fungi and of the introduced fungus, Glomus manihotis, with the ro...

Cassava frogskin disease (CFSD) is an economically important root disease of cassava (Manihot
esculenta) in Colombia and other South American countries, including Brazil, Venezuela, Peru,
Costa Rica, and Panama. The roots of severely affected plants are thin, making them unsuitable
for consumptio...

Tolerance to low P soils is a desirable trait in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars grown in acid-weathered soils. Genetic variability in response to P-deficient soils exists in the Andean gene pool. G19833, a low P–tolerant indeterminate Andean landrace, has been evaluated for quantit...

The role of the intracellular distribution and binding state of aluminum (Al) in Al toxicity, using Al exchange and Al fractionation methodologies, were studied in two common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes differing in Al resistance. These two genotypes are characterized by a similar init...

Brachiaria forage grasses are widely used for livestock production in the tropics. Signalgrass (Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk, CIAT 606) is better adapted to low phosphorus (P) soils than ruzigrass (B. ruziziensis cv. Kennedy, CIAT 654), but the physiological basis of differences in low-P ada...

Aluminium (Al) toxicity and drought are the two major abiotic stress factors limiting common bean production in the tropics. Using hydroponics, the short-term effects of combined Al toxicity and drought stress on root growth and Al uptake into the root apex were investigated. In the presence of A...

Cassava is the staple food in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where both the roots and leaves are consumed. This crop is susceptible to several viral diseases, including Cassava Mosaic Disease(CMD) and Cassava Brown Streak Disease(CBSD) in eastern DRC. Following earlier studies that show r...

Cassava is consumed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as a staple food for the majority of the Congolese population. This crop is used in several forms: as fufu, chikwangue and pondu; cassava leaves are the most consumed vegetable in the country.
In 2002, cassava root symptoms similar to ...
