1984

We investigated persistence of Botryodiplodia theobromae, a yam rot pathogen, and found that the fungus survived in the stem for 6 months; in the tubers for more than 8 months, and in the leaves for only 3 months. It was also viable for at least 10 months in sterile soil samples inoculated with infected yam tuber pieces.
