Effect of Storage Duration on Sorghum Seed Quality: Seed Composition and Storage Pest Activity

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study aimed to determine the effect of storage duration on sorghum seed quality, specifically focusing on weight loss and storage pest infestation, under laboratory conditions. Eight different sorghum cultivars (Kawali, Numbu, Suri 4, Super 1, Soper 6, Bioguma 1, Bioguma 2 and Bioguma 3) were tested, each with an initial moisture content of 12 ...

Resistance mechanisms of sugarcane cultivars to spittlebug Mahanarva fimbriolata

Scientia Agricola, 2016
The spittlebug Mahanarva fimbriolata (Stål) (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) is one of the most important pests of sugarcane in Brazil. Measures for population control are currently restricted to the use of chemical insecticides and fungus Metarhizium anisopliae,

Limitations of phenomic prediction for evaluating wheat stem sawfly resistance in wheat breeding programs

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Wheat stem sawfly (WSS, Cephus cinctus Norton) threatens wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in the US Great Plains. Increased stem solidness improves resistance to WSS but developing solid‐stemmed cultivars requires time‐consuming and destructive phenotyping.

Identifying Cassava Genotypes Resistant to the African Cassava Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)

Agriculture
The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, is a major pest of cassava in Africa. Developing whitefly-resistant cassava can control both whiteflies and viral diseases. The main aim of this study was to identify cassava genotypes resistant to four B. tabaci populations,
