Journal ArticleDOI
Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin as an endophyte in tissue culture banana (Musa spp.).
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, depending on strain and inoculation method, B. bassiana can form an endophytic relationship with tissue culture banana plants, causing no harmful effects and might provide an alternative method for biological control of C. sordidus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endophytic Beauveria bassiana in banana (Musa spp.) reduces banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) fitness and damage
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that endophytic B. bassiana can be used to target the cryptic and damaging stage of C. sordidus, and offers an alternative, effective delivery mechanism for this biological control agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of endophytic Beauveria bassiana on populations of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, and their damage in tissue-cultured banana plants
TL;DR: Endophytic B. bassiana as an endophyte in banana tissues greatly reduced banana weevil populations and their damage to plants, and can thus be an alternative method for effective delivery of this fungus to banana plants for the management of C. sordidus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aflatoxin contamination of groundnut and maize in Zambia: observed and potential concentrations
Paul W. Kachapulula,Paul W. Kachapulula,Juliet Akello,Ranajit Bandyopadhyay,Peter J. Cotty,Peter J. Cotty +5 more
TL;DR: The aims of the study were to quantify aflatoxins, the potent carcinogens associated with stunting and immune suppression, in maize and groundnut across Zambia's three agroecologies and to determine the vulnerability to aflatoxin increases after purchase.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of Beauveria bassiana dose and exposure duration on colonization and growth of tissue cultured banana (Musa sp.) plants
TL;DR: Beauveria bassiana doses and exposure durations on colonization and growth of tissue cultured banana plants varied, but dipping plants in a dose of 1.5 × 10 7 conidia/ml for 2 h produced the best percentage colonization.
