Rust resistant soybean breeding lines at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture
(2008)All soybean cultivars grown in Nigeria are highly susceptible to rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi), a disease that can cause up to 60-80% seed losses. IITA currently emphasizes development of rust-resistant cultivars for African farmers for whom host resistance is most economical for disease management. We report results obtained from evaluating 65 F7 lines of the cross TGx 1805-31F (susceptible elite line) and UG5 (resistant) under rust-endemic conditions at IITA-Ibadan in three sets in 2007. Sets 1 ... -
Root rot fungi succession during cassava (Manihot esculenta. Crantz) tuberous development in different ecological zones of Nigeria
(2008)Root rot fungi succession during cassava tuberous root development was investigated in Ibadan (Derived savanna), Sabongidda-Ora and Onne (Humid forests) of Nigeria. Two improved cassava varieties (TMS 30572 and TMS 4 (2) 1425) and one local (TME-1) were planted in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Isolation of associated fungi was done from tuberous and fibrous root samples collected at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after planting (MAP). Six species (Fusarium solani, Fusarium ... -
