Spatio-Temporal Variations in the Incidence and Severity of Maize Streak Disease in the Volta Region of Ghana

Abstract: The study was conducted to assess the influence of different agro-ecological zones and cropping seasons on the incidence and severity of maize streak disease (MSD) in Ghana. Field surveys were conducted in two districts each of the coastal savannah, forest, and transitional agro-ecological zones of the Volta region to assess the incidence and severity of MSD in farmers' fields, during the 2014 minor and 2015 major cropping seasons. The disease assessment was carried out in 12 fields from each district, and for… Show more

“…Maize streak virus (MSV) is a type member of the Geminiviridae family, a single-stranded DNA virus with great economic impacts on the cultivation and growth of the maize plant in the sub-Saharan Africa (Martin et al, 2008;Roumagnac et al, 2022). MSV seriously constrains maize production in the sub-Saharan Africa resulting in serious economic losses and low yield turnout, most especially for peasant farmers with little or no resources, and limited access to improved maize cultivars in the region (Bediako E et al, 2017;Charles, 2014;Oppong et al, 2013). Infected maize plants often show symptoms such as chlorotic lesions, leaf striation, yellowing, stunting, low yield turnout, and, in severe cases, death (Martin et al, 1999;Martin & Rybicki, 2002;Oyeniran et al, 2021).…”
