A complete set of guidelines is provided for conducting cassava regional trials. In addition to general guidelines on site selection, exptl. design, planting and harvesting time, and others, specific recommendations are given on technology to be used for the different agronomic practices required...
In order to better understand farmers’ sweetpotato varieties grown in Malawi for subsequent improvement and effective contribution of agricultural research to livelihood, a study which involved germplasm collection and indigenous knowledge documentation survey in 2003 in Chikwawa and Nsanje Distr...

Quantitative colour variability and micronutrient content of new plantain and banana hybrids flour was investigated. The mean flour colour of the cultivars ranges from 12.16 for BITA 3 to 18.52 for FHIA 23, which is an indication of varying degree of yellowness. Both FHIA 23 and PITA 17 had colou...

A two year follow up of the African root and tuber scale (ARTS) population dynamics was conducted on two cassava cultivars, a sweet variety Lueki and a bitter variety Mvuama, in a highly infested site of secondary agro-ecological forest zone of Bas-Flueve District, in D.R. Congo. Both cultivars w...

The slow progress made in the search for var. with higher levels of drought tolerance is partially due to the inefficient management of nurseries. At CIAT, screening for tolerance has evolved at almost all stages, from planning through the analysis of final results. This report describes several ...

Snap bean research at CIAT is relatively new. It began in 1982 as a student thesis project to evaluate snap bean germplasm. Later, new introductions were received and sources of resistance to rust were identified. A modest crossing program was initiated and the first advanced lines entered the VE...
Proposes a method to estimate the trade-off between sorghum grain and straw yield in agronomic trials. Describes a theory of the conflict between the two products. presents data from sorghum cultivar trials in Ethiopia, as well as a method of evaluating sorghum grain and straw.
