Nematode control on plantain suckers (Musa spp. Aab genome) through submergence in boiling water: emergence rates, early growth, bunch yield and root health
Plantain (Musa spp. AAB genome) is an important staple of the humid zoneof West and Central Africa. Root nematodes, specifically Radopholus similis, alongwith other pests and diseases are a major cause of yield loss. Farmers are unawareof the presence, symptoms and effects of nematodes. No commonly...
