Distortion, a severe stunting and deformation of plants of guineacorn (Sorghum vulgare) in Northern Nigeria, has been shown to be caused by Heterococcus nigeriensis Williams feeding on the plants.The symptoms are striking; affected stems are much shorter and wider than normal and leaves are mis-shapen, with irregularly divergent veins and white tissue between the veins. Symptoms in the field vary from small patches of distortion on other normal plants to whole plants affected. The abnormal leaves of a plant with severe distortion are crumpled and remain rolled together. Growth of the plants virtually ceases if the mealybug infestation continues but, in the absence of mealybugs, affected plants recover and produce normal leaves.Distortion has been found in the field, commonly on Sorghum vulgare, Zea mays and Cynodon dactylon, and once only on Pennisetum typhoides and Chloris pycnothrix, respectively, and has been produced experimentally on Z. mays, C. dactylon, P. typhoides, Triticum aestivum, Oryza sativa and Digitaria exilis by transferring mealybugs from affected guineacorn.

Los arabinoxilanos ferulados son los principales polisacáridos no amiláceos de los granos de cereales, que se localizan en las paredes celulares del endospermo, en la capa aleurona y en el pericarpio de los mismos. Estos polisacáridos se han reportado en los cereales más importantes, como trigo (Triticum aestivum L.), centeno (Secale cereale L. M. Bieb.), cebada (Hordeum vulgare L.), avena (A. sativa), arroz (Oryza sativa L.), sorgo (Sorghum vulgare), maíz (Zea mays L.) y mijo (Panicum miliaceum L.). Recientemente se han realizado esfuerzos enfocados a la extracción de arabinoxilanos ferulados a partir de subproductos de la industria procesadora de cereales, como de los pericarpios de maíz y de trigo, así como del “nejayote” que es el agua residual de la nixtamalización del maíz. Los arabinoxilanos ferulados forman soluciones viscosas y pueden formar geles bajo la acción de ciertos agentes oxidantes. Además, presentan características físico-químicas determinantes para su capacidad gelificante. Los geles de arabinoxilanos han despertado un gran interés debido a que presentan características interesantes como: olor y sabor neutro; estabilidad al pH, a los cambios de temperatura y de concentración de electrolitos; así como una estructura macroporosa. Estas características les confieren aplicación potencial como matrices para la liberación controlada de biomoléculas en aplicaciones alimentarias y no alimentarias, lo cual podría dar valor agregado a los cereales o subproductos de cereales de los cuales pueden ser extraídos estos polisacáridos. Esta revisión incluye los reportes más recientes sobre las características fisicoquímicas y la capacidad gelificante de arabinoxilanos ferulados, tema sobre el cual ha resurgido el interés en los últimos diez años. La generación de nuevo conocimiento sobre este polisacárido y sus geles podría sentar las bases para su aplicación en distintas áreas como la agroalimentaria, la biomédica y la cosmética, entre otras.

Allelopathic effects of aqueous extract of leaves of Parthenium hysterophorus were studied on seed germination and seedling growth of three cereal crops (Oryza sativa L., Zea mays L. and Triticum aestivum L.), three cultivated crucifers (Raphanus sativus L., Brassica campestris L. and Brassica oleracea L.) and two wild species of family Asteraceae (Artemisia dubia Wall ex. Besser and Ageratina adenophora (Spreng) King and HE Robins). Seed germination of all crucifer species was completely inhibited at >2% leaf extract of Parthenium hysterophorus but in other species, except maize, complete failure of seed germination was recorded only at >6% in Triticum aestivum and Ageratina adenophora; at 10% in Oryza sativa and Artemisia dubia. Seed germination of Zea mays was not completely inhibited but it was low at high concentration of the extract. The extract had strong inhibitory effect to root elongation of seedling in cereals and to shoot elongation in crucifers and wild Asteraceae. Leaves of Parthenium hysterophorus may be a source of natural weedicide against Ageratina adenophora which will help to control invasive plants.

The influence of soil-applied phosphorus on the phytotoxicity of soil-applied 3-amino-s-triazole (amitrole) and 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron) for corn(Zea maysL.), ryegrass(Lolium multiflorumL.), rye(Secale cerealeL.), snapbeans(Phaseolus vulgarisL.), soybeans(Glycine max(L.) Mers.), sorghum(Sorghum vulgarePers.), wheat(Triticum aestivumL.), cotton(Gossypium hirsutumL.), peanuts(Arachis hypogaeaL.), and peas(Pisum sativumL.) was studied under greenhouse conditions. All species except cotton and peanuts indicated an amitrole-phosphorus interaction. Greater phytotoxicity was found for a given rate of amitrole as the soil phosphorus level was increased. A diuron-phosphorus interaction was observed for cotton and soybeans only.

Shoot Fly

During investigations into shoot-fly damage to guinea corn (Sorghum bicolor), millet (Pennisetum typhoides) and maize (Zea mays) in rain-grown plots at Samaru during 1966, it became obvious that attack was not attributable to a single species (Atherigona varia var. soccata Rondani (=A. indica infuscata van Emden)), as was previously believed. This species is undoubtedly the principal pest of guinea corn seedlings and young plants in northern Nigeria (Map 1), but there are also many other species involved. During the following four years field trials were undertaken to establish the relative importance of the species within the area and to learn something of their biology.

La papa (Solanum tuberosum) es un tubérculo de importancia a nivel mundial; es el cuarto cultivo de interés agronómico en términos de producción y área cultivada después del arroz (Oryza sativa), el maíz (Zea mays) y el trigo (Triticum aestivum). Pectobacterium carotovorum es un agente fitopatógeno de la papa que causa la podredumbre blanda del tubérculo, y es considerada como la enfermedad poscosecha más importante, pues genera grandes pérdidas económicas a nivel del almacenamiento. El presente documento pretende dar un esbozo de la biología del patógeno, los métodos existentes para la detección de dicho agente, la descripción del quorum sensing como mecanismo de la regulación de la expresión génica de sus factores de virulencia, el mecanismo de acción del patógeno, el proceso infectivo y los métodos actuales de control.

Granular Matrix

Multiherbicide granules were formulated containing 1.3% fluazifop {(±)-butyl 2-[4-[[5-trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl] oxy] phenoxy] propanoate} (w/w) in polymerized tung oil overlaid on a granular matrix of gum xanthan-loess containing 2.7% linuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea] or oryzalin (3,5-dinitro-N4,N4-dipropylsulfanilamide). Under greenhouse conditions the granules were as effective in selective control of velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrastiMedic. ♯3ABUTH), hemp sesbania [Sesbania exaltata(Raf.) Cory ♯ SEBEX], corn (Zea maysL. ♯ ZEAMX), and red rice (Oryza sativaL. ♯ ORYSA) in soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Hill’] as when the herbicides were sprayed separately. When applied preemergence at 0.56 to 0.14 kg ai/ha, tung oil-encapsulated fluazifop on loess granules killed 100% of stolon bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon(L.) Pers. ♯ CYNDA] and was as effective as sprayed fluazifop.
