65 Taro (Cocoyam) Taro blight Disease Phytophthora colocasiae It causes purple to brown circular water-soaked lesions. This disease is partially controlled by use of copper- or phosphor-based fungicides, but spraying is tedious and costly. Increasing plant spacing or intercropping reduces losses. NULL 8,635
66 Taro (Cocoyam) Taro soft rot Disease Pythium It causes wilting and chlorosis of leaves. Control is possible by use of healthy planting material, crop rotation and treating planting materials with fungicide. NULL 8,635
67 Taro (Cocoyam) Sclerotium rot Disease Sclerotium rolfsii It causes stunting of the plant, rotting of corm and formation of many spherical sclerotia in the corm. Control is by soil drenching. NULL 8,635
68 Fonio Rust Disease Puccinia oahuensis NULL NULL NULL 8,636
69 Taro (Cocoyam) Dark brown spots Disease Cladosporium colocasicola and Phyllosticta colocasiae NULL NULL NULL 8,635

71 Taro (Cocoyam) Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) Pest NULL NULL Control is by treating planting material with water at 40°C for 50 minutes, by the use of disease-free material or by soil fumigation. NULL 8,635
72 Taro (Cocoyam) Hercothrips indicus thrips Pest NULL It causes silvery discoloration of the leaves and can result in severe leaf shedding. NULL NULL 8,635
73 Taro (Cocoyam) Taro beetles (Papuana spp.) Pest NULL Young plants wilt and die but older plants usually recover. It can be controlled by applying insecticide in the planting holes. NULL 8,635
74 Taro (Cocoyam) Leafhoppers Pest NULL NULL Biological control and insecticide dusting are effective control measures. NULL 8,635
75 Malabar Spinach Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) Pest NULL NULL The damage is reduced by the application of a high dose of organic manure. Crop rotation with non-susceptible crops such as maize or amaranth is recommended. NULL 8,638
76 Malabar Spinach Necrotic leaf spots Disease Cercospora basellae and Acrothecium basellae NULL NULL NULL 8,638
77 Malabar Spinach Rust Disease Puccinia spp. It causes yellow-orange spots on the leaves. Removal of all infected leaves is recommended in order to reduce the inoculum rate. NULL 8,638
78 Chayote Root-knot nematodes Pest NULL NULL Application of large amounts of organic manure to the planting holes reduces damage. NULL 8,639
79 Chayote Powdery mildew Disease Erysiphe cichoracearum NULL NULL NULL 8,639
80 Chayote Downy mildew Disease Pseudoperonospora cubensis NULL NULL NULL 8,639
