Plant spacing - a non polluting tool for aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) management in canola, Brassica napus [PDF]
Current study was initiated to generate the information on the effect of row-to-row distance of brassica crop, Brassica napus L., on aphids population. Three line spacing (20, 30 and 40 cm) with a constant nine cm plant to plant distance were evaluated ...

Building capacity in vector‐borne plant virus research: The CONNECTED Network
Plant viruses spread by insects decimate crop yields globally, causing food security challenges in vulnerable areas, including regions of Africa. Interdisciplinary research is needed to protect future crop supplies. CONNECTED, the Community Network for African Vector‐Borne Plant Viruses, increased research capacity in Central, East, West and Southern ...

Wing dimorphism in aphids [PDF]
Many species of insects display dispersing and nondispersing morphs. Among these, aphids are one of the best examples of taxa that have evolved specialized morphs for dispersal versus reproduction. The dispersing morphs typically possess a full set of wings as well as a sensory and reproductive physiology that is adapted to flight and reproducing in a ...

Capsicum chinense as an African traditional vegetable: Culture, resilience, and opportunity
Capsicum chinense is central to everyday diets, cultural identity, and smallholder livelihoods across Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet remains overlooked in agricultural research and policy. This paper reframes C. chinense as a traditional, climate‐resilient vegetable shaped by centuries of farmer stewardship and cultural selection.
