https://hdl.handle.net/10568/180481
Abstract
Cassava Frogskin Disease (CFSD), first reported in Colombia in the 1970s, remains one of the most damaging diseases of cassava, with yield losses exceeding 90% during major outbreaks (Pineda et al., 1983).

Ideal velvet bean seed processing for human consumption
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/179773
Abstract
Velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens), in addition to improving soil health, holds great promise for improving food security, and livestock feed in small-scale farming systems in Africa. However, its seeds contain anti-nutritional factors (ANFs), primarily L-Dopa, which must be reduced to safe levels before human or animal consumption. This factsheet outlines recommended seed processing methods that are practical and effective for small-scale…
