Letzte Woche im Labor, diese Woche auf dem Feld in Tansania: Screening von doppelt resistenten Cassava-Varianten unter Realbedingungen.

Last week lab work in Germany, this week field work in Tanzania: Screening the dual resistant #cassava clones #CBSD #CMD and the progeny of Col 40 cassava under high pressure of the #whiteflies in field trail in #Tanzania

Finally (drumroll) the most abundant species in the processed samples.

Things I would never have recorded myself:

Cortinicara gibbosa (#beetle), Dumbletoniella callistemoni and Trialeurodes vaporiarorum (#WhiteFlies), Psychoda albipennis (#MothFly), Lycoriella sativae (#FungusGnat), Aphis spiraecola (#Aphid)

Three #moths. Two (Hoplostega ochroma and Phelotis cognata) are very familiar. I recognise Bedellia somnulentella, but I would never have been confident on the species otherwise.

5/5

RT @virtigation: Thread👇 How can🥒resistance to #whiteflies & #ToLCNDV be better assessed to create #plant varieties for future #breeding programs? This was recently investigated by #VIRTIGATION lead scientist @MaruthiMNGowda @NRInstitute when visiting facilities of our 🇮🇳 partner @BangaloreUas
