Anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) is a major obstacle to economic production of
winged yams (D. alata) in the Caribbean. We evaluated varietal resistance and disease …

Ecological interactions are a fairly overlooked component in agriculture, despite their known
potential in productivity, pest and disease regulation. In this study, we assessed whether a …
