Severity of anthracnose and virus diseases of water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) in Nigeria I: Effects of yam genotype and date of planting

2007-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Anthracnose and virus diseases exert devastating impacts on yam production in many tropical regions of the world where the crop contributes to food security and income generation. The complexities in their epidemiology necessitate the use of integrated approaches in their management. Six genotypes of Dioscorea alata, planted on six dates (March-August) in each of 1998 and 1999 in Ibadan, Nigeria, were evaluated to...
