    Abstract: Drought is a limiting factor of coffee production and industry worldwide which result 40-80% yield loses. The most substantial solution for this factor is developing tolerant coffee variety. In order to design genetic improvement program, understanding the mechanisms exhibited by drought tolerant and desirable traits involved in coffee genotypes un... Show More

    Abstract: The study on the temporal fluctuation of populations and damage caused by Leucinodes orbonalis on African eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum) fruits was carried out in the forest region of South Cameroon from June 11 to September 22, 2018. It consisted of incubations of the attacked fruits in the laboratory for the study of L. orbonalis abundances and t... Show More
