Stem-cutting dipping in insecticides and biopesticide application for the control of Bemisia tabaci whitefly in cassava by Massoud Amour, Khamis A. Issa, Everlyne N. Wosula, Mathias Ndalahwa, Flora Stephano, David Chandler, Innocent Ndyetabula, James P. Legg

“…In field experiments, EPFs reduced the proportion of healthy nymphs by 64%–75% compared with the control, with no effect on adult whitefly numbers, CBSD, and root yield. For cutting dips in insecticides at Chambezi, MandiPlus, the most effective treatment, reduced adult whiteflies by 85% and nymphs by 88%, CMD incidence by 59%, and CBSD by 46% and increased stem number by 119% and root yield by 50%.ConclusionThese findings confirm that the application of MandiPlus through cutting dips is effective at reducing whitefly populations on cassava in Tanzania, reducing virus incidence and increasing yield. …”

An Efficient Propagation Approach to Forcing Softwood Shoots from Epicormic Buds and Subsequent Rooting of Paulownia elongata S. Y. Hu by Muhammad Nadeem Maqbool, Faheem Aftab

“…The use of peat moss and vermiculite proved to be equally suitable for early bud break in both seasons, whereas in terms of shoot and leaf number as well as the shoot length (cm), the best outcome was observed in sand. Best rooting was observed at 3 gL−1 IBA + 3 gL−1 NAA in terms of root number per shoot, root length (cm), and days to root initiation while using sand as the growth medium after 50 days of the rooting experiment. …”
