Tracheomycosis (or Coffee Wilt Disease) is a vascular disease that causes damage in plantations up to 80% of production in the absence of treatment. The fungus of the disease is Fusarium xylarioides. An experiment in micro-plots was put in place to look for 9 strains of this spec...
Traditionally, cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is transformed by fermentation in water (retting) or in the open air (dry fermentation) in the DRC. In the east of the country (North Kivu), dry fermentation is the main technique for processing cassava for its detoxification and...
