Endophytic fungi improve management of the burrowing nematode in banana (Musa spp.) through enhanced expression of defence-related genes
Kisaakye, James; Fourie, Hendrika; Coyne, Danny; Cortada, Laura; Khamis, Fathiya Mbarak; Subramanian, Sevgan; Masinde, Shirlyne; Haukeland, Solveig (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-03-02)The root-burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is reputedly the most damaging nematode pest of banana and responsible for major production losses. In this study, the endophytic potential of 13 fungal isolates was assessed ... -
Endophytic Non-Pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum-Derived Dual Benefit for Nematode Management and Improved Banana (Musa spp.) Productivity
Kisaakye, James; Fourie, Hendrika; Haukeland, Solveig; Kisitu, Joseph; Nakimera, Solomy; Cortada, Laura; Subramanian, Sevgan; Coyne, Danny (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01-18)The banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) and the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis represent two of the most important pests of bananas. Previously, colonization of banana plants by the non-pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum ... -
Evaluation of the Entomopathogenic Potential of Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Isaria fumosorosea for Management of Cosmopolites sordidus Germar (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Kisaakye, James; Fourie, Hendrika; Coyne, Danny; Cortada, Laura; Masinde, Shirlyne; Subramanian, Sevgan; Haukeland, Solveig (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12-18)The banana weevil (BW), Cosmopolites sordidus, is the main coleopteran pest of banana, causing up to 100% yield loss. In this study, we screened 20 isolates of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) for the management of BW. In the ...
