Crotalaria paulinea plants showing wilt and root rot were identified and collected in Caucaia, Ceará, Brazil. A total of 15 plants collected in a single field presented wilt symptoms. The plants showed root rot and were covered by reddish perithecia. The causal pathogen was identified as a new...

The aim of this study is to update the scientific knowledge on one of the major groups of the flora of Mauritania, family of Fabaceae. Bibliographical research and examination of specimens from many herbaria (National Herbarium of Mauritania, IFAN-CAD in Dakar, MNHN in Paris, CIRAD in Montpellier)...

Maize intercropped field trials with the legumes Desmodium uncinatum cv. D. Silver leaf, Cajanus cajan, Mucuna pruriens, Tephrosia sp. and Crotalaria sp. and the trap grass Tripsacum laxum were conducted from 2008 until 2010, at Chianga, Huambo, Angola, to evaluate the effect of intercropping for...

Crotalaria plants and Utetheisa ornatrix are closely linked to each other: the larvae destroy the seeds, while the moth depends on hostplants for alkaloids. To better understand the ongoing co-evolution, the present study examines how native hostplants compare to exotic ones. Leaf-feeding on ...

Non-native plant species invasion significantly represents a problem to projects on environment restoration. Such species have often been associated with the failure of restoration processes, the loss of local inputs, economic issues and, certainly, social losses. This present work aimed at listing ...

This paper focuses on the taxonomy, morphology, geographical distribution, habitat and reproduction of Crotalaria agatiflora subsp. agatiflora [C. agatiflora], an indigenous to tropial East Africa and northeast Africa (Tanzania and Kenya). This species is used as a medicinal plant in several...

Alternative methods to control invasive fodder grasses are necessary to reduce the use of herbicides in forest restoration, which has been carried out primarily in riparian zones. We sought to investigate if inter-row cultivation of crotalaria (Crotalaria breviflora DC) or pumpkin (Cucurbita...

Crotalaria is a large genus of 702 species with its centre of diversity in tropical Africa and Madagascar and secondary radiations in other parts of the world. The current infrageneric classification system is based on morphological and morphometric studies of the African taxa only and is here...

The primary objectives of this project were to determine which species of Crotalaria (Fabaceae) occur in Alabama and the county distribution of each species. Crotalaria, known commonly as rattlebox, is recognized as consisting of seven species in Alabama. The most common species are Crotalaria...
