Farmers' perceptions and knowledge of cassava pests and diseases and their approach to germplasm selection for resistance in Ghana

2007-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Cassava farmers in 10 villages in Ghana had specific names for large or colony-forming pests but Bemisia tabaci, the relatively inconspicuous whitefly vector of cassava mosaic disease (CMD), was not mentioned and farmers used descriptors borrowed from other circumstances to identify cassava diseases, different farmers sometimes describing the same symptoms using different terms. Disease susceptibility was rarely a...
