Sweetpotato weevil resistance in sub-saharan Africa: A viable mechanism for reducing Cylas damage.
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas, L) is the third most important crop in Sub-Saharan Africa contributing significantly to food security, nutrition and income. Weevils, Cylas spp., are the most important insect pest of the crop. The weevils damage both vines and roots, causing unacceptable odour, discolo...
