Abstract:
An overview will be provided of the prospects for the biological control of the
rhizomatous grass Imperata cylindrica [(L.) Raeuschel]. Imperata cylindrica is
an undisputed target for control technologies in West Africa as it reduces crop
yields and causes the abandonment of agricultural land for resource poor
farmers. Biological control can provide an environmentally friendly,
sustainable and selective method that will be adopted if it provides
advantages over alternative control strategies. The influence of variation
between biotypes of I. cylindrica will be considered in relation to their control
by a single biological organism. The potential of fungal pathogens recovered
from surveys in West Africa will be evaluated including Colletotrichum
caudatum, Drechslera gigantea, Exserohilum rostratum, Glomerella cingulata
and Puccinia rufipes. Malaysian isolates of C. caudatum have previously been
tested as a biocontrol agent against the biotype there and isolates of D.
gigantea and E. rostratum from USA were included in bioherbicide
preparations against an USA biotype of I. cylindrica. Puccinia rufipes could
potentially control this weed; as it is a biotroph, it is likely to act as a
physiological sink to deplete the carbohydrate reserves stored in the
rhizomes. It is the mobilisation of this stored carbohydrate which facilitates
this weed’s competitive advantage to rapidly produce leaves following
disturbance to the ecosystem, such as in slash and burn agriculture. This rust
pathogen has also been observed, along with other biotrophs, in South Africa,
where I. cylindrica is not considered a weed.

Abstract:
The growth of three pathogens, namely Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhii were investigated in fermenting and non-fermenting cassava. The pH of the steeped cassava was also examined during fermentation. Antimicrobial effects of the Lactobacillus plantarum on the pathogens were also determined by agar diffusion method. All the pathogens were inhibited by L. plantarum strains with Staph. aureus having the highest inhibitory zone followed by E. coli and S. thyphii. However, in the fermenting cassava, the pathogens increased in population within the first 36 h of the process and decreased to complete extinction after the 96 h of fermentation. The L. plantarum exhibited high but varying degree of inhibition on the pathogens. The findings justify the bio-preservative roles of lactic acid bacteria in traditional cassava products.

Abstract:
Use of genetic resistance is the most practical and economic way to manage major diseases of yams. In a search for sources of resistance, 40 water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) accessions from Benin, Ghana, Nigeria and Puerto Rico were screened under natural disease infection conditions in Ibadan, Nigeria. The accessions were evaluated at 1, 3 and 6 months after planting (MAP) for severity of yam anthracnose and viral diseases. The effect of the pathogens on yield was also evaluated at harvest 9 MAP. There were significant differences (P < 0.001) between accessions for severities of anthracnose and viral diseases. Eight (20%) of them had lower anthracnose area under disease progress curves (AUDPC) values than the resistant check while 10 (25%) had AUDPC values below the trial mean. There were significant variations (P < 0.001) in yield components among the accessions. There was significant negative correlation of anthracnose severity with fresh tuber yield (r = -0.51) and with number of tubers per plot (r = -0.40). Similarly, significant negative correlations were observed of virus disease severity with fresh tuber yield (r = -0.78) and number of tubers per plot (r = -0.65). Linear regression models also showed that the fresh yield had significant negative relationships with anthracnose (R2 = 0.26) and viral (R2 = 0.62) diseases. The accessions identified as resistant constitute a valuable resource for breeding of resistant germplasm.

Abstract:
The entire Kainji Lake and the riverine areas upstream of Yauri were surveyed monthly between February and May 2002 with a motorboat to make full inspection of fungi-infested water hyacinth plants. Various parts of water hyacinth plant showing symptoms of fungal infection were collected, dried between paper towels, labeled, treated and planted onto growth agar media in petri dishes sealed with parafilm. All isolates were characterised for identification. On some older plants with larger leaves were found sporulating Myrothecium roridum. On the smaller plants with purple flecking lesions were isolates of Alternaria eichhorniae of, which were necrotic patches surrounded by chlorotic halos. The presence of A. eichhorniae in Nigeria indicates a great promise as its choice in most African environment by the International Mycoherbicide Programme for Eichhornia crassipes Control in Africa (IMPECCA) for development into a mycoherbicide. Other fungal pathogens isolated included Rhizoctonia solani, Acremonium zonatum and Cercospora piaropi.
