Evaluation of the Virulence of Three Isolates of Aspergillus niger van Tiegh. on Dioscorea Species

Three isolates of Aspergillus niger van Tiegh. from Nigerian yam Dioscorea rotundata were assessed for their virulence on Nigerian varieties of white, water and yellow/bitter Dioscorea species (Yams). The first isolate labelled An2 had been assessed in a previous study along with nine others from a range of geographical locations globally and hosts, for their virulence on Brazilian D. alata, Jamaican D. cayenensis, Nigerian and Ghanaian D. rotundata and French D. opposita. It was found to be most aggressive. The second isolate labelled An3 had also been assessed in a previous study ... view moreĀ»
