Proceedings of Barbados Society of Technologists in Agriculture (Barbados); no. 10.

The yam variety White Lisbon (D. alata) is extremely susceptible to anthracnose and there is now a limited availability of planting material in Barbados. In order to maintain adequate levels of yam production, it will be necessary to utilize anthracnose-tolerant varieties of yam commonly cultivated in other Caribbean islands. The results of a preliminary field experiment indicated that the yam varieties Belep and Plimbite were tolerant to anthracnose and suitable for growth in Barbados, although some aspects of cultivation may need to be modified. In a yam tasting session, the varieties Welch, Plimbite and Kinabayo were found to be as popular as White Lisbon. (03360)

The recommended spray program on mango (Mangifera indica L.) for the control of anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides commences at panicle emergence. Trees of the mango cultivar Tommy Atkins were sprayed weekly or bi-weekly with Ferbam at 1.7 kg a.i/ha. After harvest, fruit were treated with a hot water shower at 49C for 15 min. Hot water treated fruits which were sprayed with preharvest fungicides had less anthracnose than the control of fruit treated with fungicide alone. (03278)
