Kuye, A.Ayo, D.B.Sanni, L.O.Raji, A.O.Kwaya, E.I.Otuu, O.O.Asiru, W.B.Alenkhe, B.Abdulkareem, I.B.Bamkefa, B.Tarawali, G.Dixon, Alfred G.O.Okechukwu, R.U.[Design and fabrication of a flash dryer for the production of high quality cassava flour]Design and fabrication of a flash dryer for the production of high quality cassava flour

Twenty-two cassava genotypes and eight controls were evaluated in two cropping seasons for resistance to cassava mosaic disease (CMD) at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) fields, located at different ecozones of Nigeria. Disease incidence (DI) and index of symptom severit...


Ariyo, O.A.Dixon, Alfred G.O.Atiri, G.I.Gachomo, E.W.Kotchoni, S.O.[Disease resistance characterisation of improved cassava genotypes to Cassava Mosaic Disease at different ecozones]Disease resistance characterisation of improved cassava genotypes to Cassava Mosaic Disease at different ecozones

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of staking and non-staking systems on disease severity, yield and quality attributes of yams. Methodology: High costs and lack of planting materials, labour, staking and inappropriate knowledge on production techniques are major constraints o...

The objective of this study was to determine variations in root and foliage yields, crude protein (CP), and dry matter (DM) degradation characteristics of foliage among 25 cassava clones selected for green mite resistance at Ibadan, south-western Nigeria. Clones were sampled 12 months after plant...


Larbi, AsamoahDixon, Alfred G.O.Smith, Jimmy W.Yusuf, A.T.[Variations in root and foliage yields and quality among green mite-resistant cassava clones]Variations in root and foliage yields and quality among green mite-resistant cassava clones

A study was conducted to determine the extent of genetic diversity among African cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) accessions resistant to the cassava mosaic virus disease (CMD), using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The accessions included a breeding stock (clone 58308), five improved lin...


Lokko, YDixon, Alfred G.O.Offei, SDanquah, E.Y.Fregene, Martin A.[Assessment of genetic diversity among African cassava Manihot esculenta Crantz accessions resistant to the cassava mosaic virus disease using SSR markers]Assessment of genetic diversity among African cassava Manihot esculenta Crantz accessions resistant to the cassava mosaic virus disease using SSR markers

High population growth and consequent pressure for food is driving agriculture towards greater intensification in West Africa. However, due to inadequate use/availability of farm manure and fertilisers, there is a continuous decline in soil fertility and overall crop productivity. This trend must...

Although cassava is a major food crop, its scientific breeding began only recently compared with other crops. Significant progress has been achieved, particularly in Asia where cassava is used mainly for industrial processes and no major biotic constraints affect its productivity. Cassava breedin...

Thirteen cassava genotypes were evaluated at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Ibadan, Nigeria for anthracnose (CAD), bacterial blight (CBB) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD) incidence and severity, and their effects on yield, for three consecutive planting seasons. There were s...
