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...

The Andean blackberry (Rubus glaucus) is an important source of income in hillside regions of Colombia.
However, growers have little reliable information on the factors that affect the development and yield of
the crop, and therefore there is a dearth of information onhowto effectively manage the...

The possibilities of underdeveloped countries to satisfy their needs for food and to improve the standard of Eving through cassava production are analyzed. The following aspects are studied: potential cassava production (current and potential situation), general research policies and areas (var. ...
Se analizan las posibilidades de los paises subdesarrollados para satisfacer sus necesidades de alimentacion y mejorar el nivel de vida con base en la produccion de yuca. Se contemplan los siguientes aspectos: produccion potencial de la yuca (situacion actual y potencial), politica general de la ...

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,...

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...
In recent studies of cassava at CIAT, net CO2 uptake rates of 20 to 35 ?mol CO2 m?2 s?1 were commonly observed. Cassava photosynthesis has a high optimum temperature (35°C) and a wide plateau (25 to 35°C) corresponding to the temperature range under which cassava is cultivated. Leaf photosynthesi...
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)

For millennia farmers have continually improved their crop management and production practices through their observations and experience. More recently modern science and research methods based on controlled experiments became the most visible instrument of technological change in agriculture, ne...
