Abstract Groundnut is commonly consumed in its roasted form by many Nigerians. This study was therefore conducted to determine the levels of aflatoxin groundnut retailed south‐western N igeria with a view assessing fitness processed nut for human consumption. The effects roasting and de‐coating as alternative methods reducing ‘aflatoxin scare’ were further assessed on aflatoxigenic fungal load content nuts. Forty‐eight samples raw collected mycological thin‐layer chromatographic analysis...
African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) is an underutilized leguminous crop in the tropics with lofty nutritional value widely cultivated rural parts of Southern and Western Nigeria. This study was conducted to screen 20 accessions AYB for resistance these diseases, identify associated fungi also determine best cropping season cultivate minimal infection. Field trials were at Teaching Research Farm Federal University Agriculture, Abeokuta during 2015/2016 seasons (wet dry seasons). The...
ABSTRACT African yam bean (AYB; Sphenostylis stenocarpa Hochst. Ex A. Rich.) is an underutilized legume indigenous to Africa. The crop has great potential as it can enhance food security and its chemical composition offers nutritional medicinal opportunities. However, the low grain yield caused by fungal diseases, including pod blight leaf tip dieback, deters farmers from large-scale cultivation. causal agents of dieback on AYB are largely uncharacterized. To determine prevalence diseases...

However, low grain yield caused by fungal diseases, including pod blight leaf tip dieback, deters farmers from large‐scale cultivation. To determine the prevalence of diseases affecting leaves, pods flowers AYB, a survey was conducted in 2018 2019 major AYB‐growing areas Nigeria. Leaf flower bud rot...
African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) is an orphan crop with lofty nutraceutical benefits grown in Africa. However, pests and diseases often hinder its productivity. Twenty accessions of (AYB) were screened for resistance to viral symptomatic leaves indexed the presence viruses. The Field experiments conducted during 2015/2016 cropping seasons (wet dry seasons). twenty triplicates a randomized complete block design (RCBD) on field under natural infection or susceptibility responses...
