Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is the most damaging viral disease of rice in Africa and can cause yield losses up to 100%. The objective this study was characterize newly introduced lines from Korea into Ghana for their reaction RYMV infection. One hundred seventy-two were screened level resistance a screen house at Fumesua, Ghana. Four checks consisting two highly resistant (Tog7291 Gigante with rymv1-2 (resistant gene1-allele2) rymv2 gene2) respectively), moderately line (CRI-Amankwatia)...
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by cassava begomoviruses is the major constraint to production in Ghana. The known cause reduction root yield. To ascertain distribution of viruses causing CMD, 95 diseased samples were collected two agroecological zones Ghana-Deciduous Forest zone and Transitional zone. On a scale 1-5, CMD severity was scored. Mean score 2.9, however there no significant difference (p > 0.05) between zones. Averagely, 2.8 71% farms visited recorded. Polymerase...
The success of Positive Selection Technique (PST) depends on the visual selection virus-free plants, which may not always be possible due to virus accumulation in plant parts apart from leaves. This study determined accumulations different white yam when practicing PST. Experimental plots were established at Ejura and Fumesua, planted with planting materials (sourced PST-practicing farmers) three varieties viz. Kpamyo, Dente Pona. Symptomatic asymptomatic plants these fields selected mosaic...
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important cereal crop in sub-Saharan Africa providing food for many of its inhabitants. However, production hampered by low yields and aflatoxin contamination, among others. The toxin contaminates maize before harvest during storage. Ghana lacks regulatory infrastructure monitoring detecting grains prior to market, local varieties have been found be susceptible accumulation. Host resistance envisaged as a key approach addressing menace. Thus, this study was...
