Aims: To examine the genetic diversity and relatedness among pepper accessions using agromorphological markers. Study Design: Augmented design with single rows of each genotype. Place and Duration of Study: Research field, CSIR-Savanna Agricultural Research Institute, Nyankpala-Tamale, Ghana, May to October, 2012. Methodology: Fifty local pepper genotypes from different agro-ecological zones in Ghana were characterized using 35 agro-morphological (11 quantitative and 24 qualitative) traits using standard descriptors for Capsicum sp. For quantitative traits, measurements were recorded on ten tagged plants and the mean value used while four tagged plants were scored for the qualitative traits. Results: The first three principal components accounted for 59.61% of the total genetic variance among the genotypes with the larger part of the variance explained by fruit pedicel width, fruit Original Research Article Agyare et al.; AJEA, 12(1): 1-16, 2016; Article no.AJEA.25186 2 weight, fruit length, plant height, stem diameter, fruit pedicel length and fruit width. For qualitative traits, the first three principal components contributed to 51.65% of the total genetic variance with leaf pubescence density, fruit position, calyx annular constriction and filament colour as the most important parameters. The study showed a great variation in fruit traits revealing six fruit shapes and four fruit colours. Fruit weight exhibited positive and significant correlations with yield components such as fruit length and fruit width. Conclusion: The study has shown that morphological markers are effective tools in studying genetic diversity in Capsicum species. This observed diversity among the pepper genotypes would therefore be used for improving pepper through hybridization and selection.

Common bean is the most important pulse crop in Kenya, though small scale farmers involved in its farming have limited access to quality seeds resistant to pests such as bean stem maggot, thereby limiting its production from potential yield production of 2000 kg ha -1 to less than 1000 kg ha -1 . This study was therefore aimed at determining effective ways of managing bean stem maggot through identification and selection of resistant commercial varieties for enhanced host resistance. This was achieved through screening levels of resistance among commercial varieties and determining severity and incidence of bean stem maggot infestations. The study was conducted in Kakamega, Njoro and Uasin-gishu. The varieties were planted together with two local checks; KK 8, Tasha, KK

A new strobilurin group of fungicide, pyraclostrobin 100 g/l CS (Seltima 100 g/l CS) was evaluated for its bio-efficacy against rice leaf blast disease under field condition during Kharif 2013 and 2014 at Agricultural research station, Gangavathi, Karnataka, India. The test fungicide, pyraclostrobin 100 g/l CS was found effective against leaf blast disease which recorded least percent disease index (PDI) of 14.20 and 16.48 @ 75 g a.i./h and @ 100 g a.i./h, respectively. Other fungicides such as tricyclazole 75 WP (300 g/h), Carbendazim 50 WP (500g/h) and Isoprothiolane 40 EC (750 ml/h) recorded significantly more PDI than pyraclostrobin 100 g/l CS. Due to difference in the PDI of leaf Original Research Article Pramesh et al.; AJEA, 13(5): 1-6, 2016; Article no.AJEA.27992 2 blast disease, different treatments recorded statistically significant yield differences. The highest yield (67.78 q/h) was recorded in the treatment of pyraclostrobin 100 g/l CS @ 75 g a.i./h followed by the same chemical @ 100 g a.i./h (66.87 q/h). Therefore, pyraclostrobin 100 g/l CS (Seltima 100 g/l CS) @ 75-100 g a.i/h can be used for effective management of leaf blast disease.
在印度卡纳塔克邦Gangavathi农业研究站，于2013年和2014年在田间条件下评价了一种新型吡脲类杀菌剂pyraclostrobin 100 g/l CS (Seltima 100 g/l CS)防治水稻叶瘟病的生物药效。试验杀菌剂pyraclostrobin 100 g/l CS在75 g a.i./h和100 g a.i./h时对叶瘟病有较好的防治效果，病指数(PDI)最小，分别为14.20和16.48。其他杀菌剂如三环唑75 WP (300 g/h)、多菌灵50 WP (500g/h)和异丙硫烷40 EC (750 ml/h)的PDI显著高于吡唑菌酯100 g/l CS。由于叶片PDI的差异原研究文章Pramesh等;农业学报，13(5):1-6,2016;文章no.AJEA。27992 2瘟病，不同处理记录的产量差异有统计学意义。产率最高的是吡唑菌酯100 g/l CS + 75 g a.i./h处理，其次是吡唑菌酯100 g a.i./h处理(66.87 q/h)。因此，pyraclostrobin 100 g/l CS (Seltima 100 g/l CS) @ 75-100 g a.i/h可用于叶瘟病的有效防治。
