The purpose of this symposium was to prepare recommendations for the Colombian Government so that they can follow a definite course of action with regard to the planning of cassava cultivation and to ensure that the technology being generated by the research institutions is transferred to the far...
This is an overview of the present status of cassava as regards production and yields, nutritional value and international research programs. A cassava research program to be developed by CIAT is presented. The program covers the following areas: varietal improvement, production systems, internat...
Feasible overall goals for cassava breeding in Asia are proposed on the basis of current national cassava breeding programs, achievements, and cassava demand in the following Asian Countries: Thailand, Philippines, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and Vietnam. CIAT germplasm that has been selec...

Caracteristicas de la produccion de name espino (Dioscorea rotundata Poir) y yuca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) en la Costa Atlantica de Colombia
Agricultural research in developing countries has lacked relevance to farm-level production problems, especially appropriate technologies for small-scale or limited-resource farmers. Currently research institutions are directing their efforts towards these objectives. This paper is a preliminary ...

The role of economists in on-farm testing in agricultural research
In Brazil, the world`s largest bean producer, the annual production value is over US$ billion. Beans contribute more to total national protein consumption than any other product, especially among the poor, who get over 30 percent dietary protein from beans. Available technological options for imp...

The different operations involved in the cassava drying process to produce chips for animal feed are indicated, namely weighing the fresh cassava, chipping, spreading out of chips, turning over of chips, recollection, storage, and marketing. The organization and management of a natural cassava dr...
In 1976 expt. were conducted on var. trials, fertilization, insecticides, and herbicides in order to identify new technology that could be introduced into small- and intermediate-scale bean production in Honduras. Factors of a complete technological package were also discarded to identify the mos...
