Growth and N uptake in pot-grown maize, beans, and cassava were evaluated under 2 levels of soil N at CIAT-Palmira (Colombia). The lower amount of the element reduced its uptake by the 3 species, resulting in lower tissue concn., especially in the leaves. Under low N, DM accumulation was also red...

Crescimento, fotossintese e eficiencia do uso de nitrogenio em milho, feijao e mandioca submetidos a dois niveis de N no solo
Initial research on the physiology of the cassava plant will study the growth cycle of a heavy-and a medium-branched var. The effect of LAI, N and planting density will be determined as well. Other expt will study plant response to N, mineral requirements, induction of flowering, planting dates a...
Cassava is a high-yielding crop, well adapted to areas of the tropics with low, uncertain rainfall and mean temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius.It has the ability to grow on very acid soils where few other crops will grow atall; however, highest yields are obtained under more fertile conditions...
Analysis of previously published data shows that an extremely close correlation (r(2) = 0.83) exists between stomatal sensitivity to changes in leaf to air vapor pressure deficit and the maximum leaf conductance at low VPD in a wide range of plant species. The hypothesis is presented that stomata...

Stomatal sensitivity to air humidity : a hypothesis for its control through peristomatal evaporation
Different physiological characteristics of the cassava plant, which can be used as selection parameters, are reviewed, namely LAI, HI, biomass production, plants with amphistomatic leaves, and C4 photosynthesis. Experience indicates that it is better to select var. showing lower yield reduction u...
Se revisan diferentes caracteristicas fisiologicas de la planta de yuca que se pueden utilizar como parametros de seleccion: IAF, IC, produccion de biomasa, plantas con hojas amfistomatosas y fotosintesis C4. Se enfatiza que se debe tratar de seleccionar var. que presenten menor disminucion en co...

Caracteristicas fisiologicas para la seleccion de yuca
A series of trials were carried out using cassava. Crop growth rate increased with leaf area up to LAI 4; root growth rate increased up to LAI 3-3.5, then declined. LAI is determined by leaf size, leaf formation rate and individual leaf life. Leaf size reached a max 4 mo after planting and then d...
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...
