This paper reports how field application of nitrogen fertilizer and cassava variety affects the sensory quality of composite cassava-wheat bread. Fertilizer dosages of 0 and 160 kg/ha were applied during the raining season in a completely randomized trial plot located in Mokwa, in the Guinea sava...

Cassava is an important food crop in the East African coastal lowlands. However, yields are low due to various reasons amongst which are pests and diseases. Cassava brown streak virus disease (CBSD) is one of the major diseases of economic importance in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Malawi. Yie...

The importance of cassava relative to other crops in the cropping system was almost total; cassava was present in 70% of arable fields; maize and beans or peas were each present in 13% of arable fields and all other crops were present in 4%. Cassava was produced mostly for sale, yet it was not as...
