Genotype by environment interaction remains a substantial issue in all breeding programs. Crop genotypes are generally developed in a central breeding location, but always require the evaluation of breeding products in different environments. This is particularly relevant in countries that have a...

Breeding, delivery, use and benefits of bio-fortified cassava
Cassava is a major staple and food security
crop in Africa which can produce a crop under
uncertain rainfall and low fertility conditions. How-
ever, it suffers from several pests and diseases, with
Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) being the main biotic
constraint in production in s...

Cassava: mentor on a mission why cassava and capacity building are closely coupled
Breeding for resistant genotypes is the best strategy to offset the destructive effects of cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava bacterial blight (CBB). Two sets of diallel parents were selected for the forest and the savannah ecological zones in Ghana based on good levels of resistance to CMD...

The study was carried out to quantify the genotype × environment interaction (G × E) and to estimate the phenotypic stability by genotype genotype × environment (GGE) biplot of nine cassava clones comprising 5 hybrids, 3 parent checks and 1 improved variety. The study was planted across three dif...

A study was conducted to assess the extent of genetic variability, broad-sense heritability and correlations for fresh root weight, root number and top weight of five cassava genotypes across three locations in 2 years. Combined analysis of variance revealed highly significant genotypic effect fo...

Genetic enhancement of cassava aimed at increasing productivity through the provision of broad-based which improved germplasm and is also a major goal for cassava breeders. 10 genotypes (4 landraces and 6 developed lines) were evaluated at Fumesua, Ejura and Pokuase in 2 growing seasons in a rand...

Thirty white fleshed cassava genotypes derived from crosses between genotypes from West Africa x East Africa and West Africa x Latin America were evaluated in five major agroecological zones in Nigeria during 2012-2013. The trials were established in a randomized complete block design with four r...
