Evaluation of the potentional of native microbial inoculants (Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Trichoderma spp.) for control of the yam nemathodes and an omproved soil fertility, yam pruductivity and strobility. Ghent University
This study investigates the diversity of yam nemathodes and their interaction with yam an important staple food in West-Africa. Yam cultivars will be screened for resistance to nematodes. An in virto an in situ approach will reveal the potentails of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and trichoderma spp. to control nemathodes, promote yam growth, and improve yam storability.
