Adequate resources and infrastructure for the exchange of cassava germplasm are discussed according to the type of material received (sexual seed, cuttings, and meristems). The final objective of exchanging cassava germplasm among different countries is to obtain improved var.; in order to do so,...
Se analizan los recursos y la infraestructura adecuados para el intercambio de germoplasma de yuca segun el tipo de material que se reciba (semilla sexual, estacas y meristemas). El objetivo final del intercambio de yuca entre diferentes paises es obtener var. mejoradas; para lograrlo se requiere...

A detailed review on cassava production in intercropping systems is given, based on the following aspects: selection of plant types for intercropping; realtive planting time, planting density and pattern (spatial arrangement); mineral nutrition and fertilization, competition for nutrients; pest, ...
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...
Based on research results, the advantages of cassava over other crops, the use of improved cv. for different ecosystems, good management practices, crop protection, and soil fertility requirements are discussed in detail. (CIAT)

Three varieties in one cassava trial and 5 in another were planted in a sytematic density experiment, which showed that optimum plant density for root yield changes with plant age. Some varieties showed a pronounced optimum plant population whereas others showed a flat-topped response curve. Redu...
