Oviposition by the cassava hornworm,Erinnyis ello L., was quantified for upper (abaxial) and lower (adaxial) leaf surfaces of cassava in the department of Tolima, Colombia. Relative rates of egg parasitism byTelenomus sphingis Ashmead on the different leaf surfaces were determined and compared. A...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a staple food for a large sector of human population in the tropics. It is widely produced for its starchy roots by small farmers over a range of environments on poor infertile soils with virtually no inputs. It is highly productive under favorable conditions...

Using the infra-red gas analysis system, the rate of CO2 uptake, transpiration, leaf conductance and water use efficiency were determined on attached leaves of cassava cv. MCol 1522 and CG 403-18, which were grown in pots left outdoors. In the stress treatment, the water was withheld from the fou...

The importance of cassava, particularly in animal nutrition, is briefly discussed. The adaptability of cassava to infertile soils and low inputs, its production of more calories per land and labor unit than any other food crop, and its resistance to pests and diseases are highlighted. CIAT`s obje...

For many crops with preferential vegetative propagation, or which are sterile, or have seed unresponsive to standard seed storage techniques, in vitro methods can provide a valuable adjunct to other germplasm conservation strategies. Two types of in vitro gene banks are proposed: (i) an in vitro ...

In view of the lack of information on the use of herbicides in polycultures including non-commercial crop species, 2 expt. were designed to identify herbicides and doses suitable for crop associations including cassava. A total of 6 products were tested single or in mixtures having been chosen fo...
