A major constraint facing yam producers in southeastern Nigeria is poor storage of the tubers. Farmers in the area also opine that yams grown with mineral fertilizers tend to have shorter shelf life than those grown without mineral fertilizers. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of ...

Cassava yields obtained from farmers' fields in Nigeria during the Collaborative Study of Cassava in Africa (COSCA) survey gave an average root yield of 14.5 t/ha and an average harvest index of about 0.56. The average root yields from both the sub humid and non humid zones were the same but sign...

Research on the resistance of cassava to fire is scarce because ordinarily researchers would not set their cassava farms on fire for such evaluation. Stems rendered useless by fire were commonly reported by farmers but no information on root yields and shoot regeneration. This study compared the ...
