Data_Sheet_1_Farmer and Field Survey in Cassava-Growing Districts of Rwanda Reveals Key Factors Associated With Cassava Brown Streak Disease Incidence and Cassava Productivity.pdf

, 2021
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a vital crop in Rwanda where it ranks as the third most consumed staple. However, cassava productivity remains below its yield potential due to several constraints, including important viral diseases, such as cassava

Editing of the MeSWEET10a promoter yields bacterial blight resistance in cassava cultivar SC8

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 25, Issue 10, October 2024.
Cassava cultivar South China No. 8 plants with an edited EBETALE20 region of the MeSWEET10a promoter displayed increased resistance to Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis strain Xam11 without yield penalty. Abstract Cassava starch is a widely used raw material for industrial production and food source for people. However, cassava bacterial blight (CBB)

Adoption determinants of improved cassava varieties and intercropping among East and Central African smallholder farmers

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 292-310, June 2024.
Abstract A key constraint to cassava productivity in Africa is the lack of adoption of improved cassava varieties tolerant to pests and diseases. To understand the drivers of adoption behavior, we examine the simultaneous adoption of improved cassava varieties and intercropping by 1200 smallholder farmers in Malawi, Tanzania, and Uganda. Using a linear

Beyond the present: How climate change is relevant to pest risk analysis

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 54, Issue S1, Page 20-37, March 2024.
Abstract Climate change is widely recognized as a critical global challenge with far‐reaching consequences. It affects pest species by altering their population dynamics, actual and potential distribution areas, as well as interactions with their hosts and natural enemies. Climate change thus has potentially important implications for multiple areas of
