t0“cassava bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis”
e1“Bacterial blight severity was significantly reduced compared to sole cassava in the forest highland in cassava-taro and cassava-maize intercropping (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 in 2000 and 2001, respectively), in the forest lowland in cassava-maize intercropping (p = 0.002 in 2001), and in cassava-maize intercropping in the wet savanna zone (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01 in 2000 and 2001, respectively)”

- Intervention effect Cassava-maize intercropping significantly reduced bacterial blight severity in the forest highland compared with sole cassava.
- Intervention effect Cassava-maize intercropping significantly reduced bacterial blight severity in the forest lowland compared with sole cassava.
- Intervention effect Cassava-maize intercropping significantly reduced bacterial blight severity in the wet savanna zone compared with sole cassava.
- Intervention effect Intercropping reduced cassava bacterial blight by generally low levels, 10 to 24%.
- Intervention effect Intercropping had no significant negative effect on cassava root yield.
- Observation No cassava varieties with complete resistance to bacterial blight were identified across ecozones in Togo.
- Recommendation A combination of medium resistant varieties and intercropping can be recommended to farmers as part of integrated control of cassava bacterial blight.
