Aside from direct damage, the cassava whitefly transmits cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD), leading to potential yield losses ranging from 70 % to 100 %. The control of whiteflies in cassava cultivation is complicated by the prevalence of varieties susceptible to these pests and the farmers' limited knowledge of effective insecticide use. A study employing both quantitative and qualitative survey methods was conducted to assess smallholder farmers' awareness and adoption of the whitefly-tolerant cassava variety, Mkumba, and the systemic insecticide imidacloprid. Findings reveal that 35.2 % of farmers grew Mkumba, while 31.9 % utilized chemical control. Furthermore, 34.7 % identified whiteflies on cassava, with 45.4 % associating sooty moulds on leaves with whitefly feeding. Awareness of these control technologies was evident among farmers. However, factors such as the farmer's age and sex influenced the adoption of Mkumba, with barriers including the limited availability and high costs of insecticides and certain undesirable traits of Mkumba hindering broader uptake.

To establish a rapid and simple method for AMV detection in alfalfa crops in China, three novel methods were developed, including real-time fluorescent reverse-transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA), a one-tube one-step RT-RPA-CRISPR-Cas12a-based fluorescent assay, and a one-tube one-step RT-RPA-CRISPR-Cas12a-based lateral flow assay. RT-RPA-CRISPR-Cas12a-based detection methods combine one-step RT-RPA with CRISPR-Cas12a-based fluorescent or lateral flow detection in a single tube. Considering sensitivity, reaction time, ease of operation, and portability of instruments and reagents, the one-tube one-step RT-RPA-CRISPR-Cas12-based lateral flow assay was identified as the most suitable method for rapid field detection of AMV. This assay utilizes a pair of specific RT-RPA primers and a specific crRNA designed based on the conserved multifunctional coat protein gene sequences from 26 AMV isolates. The assay could be completed in approximately 1 h under isothermal conditions at 42 °C and 37 °C using a portable metal incubator. Sensitivity tests demonstrated that the assay could detect as low as 9.0 pg of total RNA extracted from AMV-infected alfalfa plants collected from Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Beijing, and Shanxi provinces in China, with no cross-reactivity with other alfalfa-infecting viral pathogens. Furthermore, its feasibility was validated by testing field-collected alfalfa samples. In conclusion, the developed one-tube one-step RT-RPA-CRISPR-Cas12a-based lateral flow assay offers a simple, sensitive, and efficient method for rapid AMV detection in the field, showing significant potential for practical applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10785,"journal":{"name":"Crop Protection","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 107242"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
