BIOLOGYOF TARO LEAF BLIGHT (Phytophthora colocasiae Racib) - A REVIEW ABSTRACT Taro is a tropical tuber crop highly valued in developing countries. It is mostly susceptible to Phytophthora colocasiae, a leaf blight disease (TLB) causing a 25%-50% loss in yield. The pathogen results not only in reduction in vigor, quality and yield but also constitute a barrier to international exchange of germplasm. The warm, humid days, cool and wet nights of the tropics are ideal for reproduction and…

To be against genetically modified organisms, is being against the advancement of technology. Over the course of all history many ideas have been shut down before they’ve even seen the light of day, and unfortunately that could be the case for gmo’s. 88% of U.S. scientists say genetically modified foods are safe to eat, and only 37% of Americans agree. Rationally, GMO crops aren't inherently different from other breeding techniques that people already trust—so even though we can't know with 100%…

beneath the surface. Pod development lasts up to 30 days after fertilization and the seed matures over a further 10 days (Swanevelder, 1998). Generally Bambara groundnuts take about three to six months to mature, depending on weather conditions and the cultivar.…

gardens to large farming corporations, the SWD do not discriminate. The SWD host plants and feedings preferences are a wide range of fruits. In the Northeast, SWD has had the most impact on raspberries and blackberries, especially fall-harvested cultivars. (Demchak, et al., 2013). Looking at the economics of the effects of SWD, one can see that the amount of funds lost to this pest is abundant, including yield losses, increased labor costs, and loss of foreign markets if fruit infest by SWD…

Brazilian agribusiness uses modern technologies such as new varieties and cultivars (adapted to non-native ecosystems, with a higher yield in a given environmental set of conditions, resistance and/or tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses); new machinery and equipment, fertilizers and agrochemicals. The main thing are new agricultural…

Plant breeding has been around for hundreds of thousands of years. When people in the modern era of the human species think about plant breeding, most thoughts turn towards genetically modified organisms or GMOs for short. However, plant breeding doesn’t just involve genetically modified organisms. Plant breeding can be much less complicated. Farmers have bred plants for longer than the lifespan of genetically modified organisms. Early farmers’ version of plant breeding was as simple as choosing…

better. In this text, we try to answer two fundamental questions that our aid team frequently gets: Which is healthy?
