  6. First report of potato cyst nematode, Globodera rostochiensis (Wollenweber, 1923), infecting potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in Uganda por Cortada Gonzales, L., Omagwa, J., Kisitu, J., Adhiambo, M., Haukeland, Solveig, Mburu, H., Orr, J., Jones, J.T., Wasukira, A., Kisingiri, J.B., Tugume, Joab K., Birenge, J.B., Okonya, Joshua Sikhu, Coyne, D.

    Publicado 2020
    “…Potato cyst nematodes (PCNs; Globodera rostochiensis [Wollenweber, 1923] and G. pallida) are quarantine pests (EPPO 2013) and have recently been reported from Kenya (Mburu et al. 2018) and Rwanda (Niragire et al. 2020). In East Africa, potato is an important staple food crop for millions of people, although current yields (10 t/ha) are far below potential (40 t/ha). …”
