Three traits, namely root number (RTNO), root weight(RTWT) and fresh yield (FYLD) of some cassava genotypes wrer scored and analysed for heritability. The genotypes differed significantly for each of the tree traits. Generally heritability per replicate was above 50% indicating that the additive ...

Resistance to anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum graminicola, in sorghum was identified through field screening at two locations (Samanko and Longorola) in Mali. The occurrence and progress of anthracnose were monitored on 19 sorghum lines plus resistant and susceptible checks in the 1996 to 1...

Crop biotechnology seems to be in its infancy in Africa, some national researchers are well trained in this area but lack of funding from their national governments does not allow them take advantage of their knowledge and professional skills. Among the agro-biotechnology tools, tissue culture ra...

The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is a serious threat to sustainable banana production worldwide. A promising way of controlling nematodes is through the development and deployment of resistant cultivars. This usually involves crossing triploid cultivars with fertile diploids to produce...

The association among different traits and their direct and indirect influence on yield using path analysis were conducted with 30 broad-based and diverse cassava genotypes evaluated at four agroecological zones in Nigeria. Traits evaluated include reactions of the genotypes to prevalent pest and...

Cassava, a staple food in sub-Saharan Africa, does not provide adequate amounts of pro-vitamin A (VA) carotenoids and has been targeted for biofortification (i.e. selectively breeding cultivars of increased nutrient density with agroeconomically acceptable characteristics). However, the accessibi...
