Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is the second most important virus disease after Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), infecting cassava (ManihotesculetaCrantz) in Africa. The disease is caused by two distinct viruses, Cassava brown streak virus [2, 3] and Ugandan Cassava brown streak virus (family, ...

The influence of some edaphic factors (soil moisture and organic matter) on plantain susceptibility to Radopholus similis was studied on cultivar Agbagba in a shade house. Densities of R. similis increased with increasing soil moisture level and were highest at field capacity revealing that at th...

Background
Understanding root traits is a necessary research front for selection of favorable genotypes or cultivation practices. Root and tuber crops having most of their economic potential stored below ground are favorable candidates for such studies. The ability to image and quantify subsurfa...

Ground penetrating radar: a case study for estimating root bulking rate in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
Ten and thirty cassava genotypes producing wildtype and amylose‐free (waxy) starch respectively, are grown at low (LA) and intermediate (IA) altitudes (<213 and >900 m above sea level (m.a.s.l.) respectively). The functional properties of the starch from these materials are analyzed. The relative...

This study reports the inherent phytochemical contents in leaves and roots of nine sweet potato varieties from Kenya. Results indicated that vitamin C content varied significantly () among the sweet potato varieties regardless of the plant part, leaves having significantly () higher levels than i...

Cassava roots are the most important commercial product from this crop. Roots have two major components: the starchy parenchyma and the peel with higher amount of fibre and cyanogenic glucosides. In this study, a sample of 64 clones grown in replicated trials in five locations were evaluated for ...

Sweet potato has traditionally been viewed as a “poor person’s crop” or “orphan crop,” and it has attracted limited attention compared to other staple crops. However, during the last decade, this perception has changed, and it is widely acknowledged that sweet potato has great potential to contri...
Summarizes and discusses the results of an experiment carried out in 1983 with oats and Italian ryegrass on a soil with vertic properties near Debre Berhan area (Ethiopia) to examine the effects of improved drainage and fertilization (N/P).
