Evaluation of Cassava Genotypes for Resistance to Cassava Mosaic Disease and Agronomic Traits
American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2016 Sixteen cassava genotypes comprising introductions, local landraces and improved genotypes were evaluated for two seasons in Mansa, Zambia, for their reaction to cassava mosaic disease (CMD). The study was conducted in 2009/10 and 2010/11 seasons to evaluate the reaction of cassava cultivars to CMD and agronomic traits.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Towards understanding factors that govern fertilizer response in casave: lessons from East Africa [PDF]
, 2010 Information on fertilizer response in cassava in Africa is scarce. We conducted a series of on-farm and on-station trials in two consecutive years to quantify yield responses of cassava to mineral fertilizer in Kenya and Uganda and to evaluate factors ...

CASSAVA MOSAIC DISEASE: INCIDENCE AND YIELD PERFORMANCE OF CASSAVA CULTIVARS IN ZAMBIA
Journal of Plant Pathology, 2017 Cassava is the main food crop for an estimated 30% of the population in Zambia where yields of 5.8 t/ha are some of the lowest of any major cassava-producing country. A study was conducted to characterize yield responses of Zambian cassava genotypes to cassava mosaic disease (CMD), as well as the relative susceptibilities to the causal viruses.
