Nine yellow root and one white root cassava genotypes were evaluated in ten environments in Ghana for the variability of their beta carotene content in root. The aim was to identify cassava genotypes that have high beta carotene content in storage root to combat the widespread vitamin A deficienc...

The starchy staples of cassava (tuberous roots) provides more than half the calories consumed by more than 200 million people in sub-Saharan Africa, and the leaves are often used as a vegetable providing protein, vitamins and minerals. The cyanogenic potential of cassava has often been cited as a...

A substantial impact on Africa agriculture can be made through research on crop improvement for the extensive inland valley agro-ecosystems (IVS) extending from the humid forest to the savanna zones in sub saharan Africa. Systematic surveys of farmers have shown that cassava is a favoured upland ...

Field evaluation of six cassava genotypes for resistance to root rot disease was compared with three rapid laboratory methods (whole root inoculation, root slice inoculation, and stem inoculation) for resistance screening. Both the field evaluation and the three laboratory methods separated the v...

Cassava flour has potential for multiple applications in the food industry. To develop cassava varieties for targeted household and industrial uses, it is necessary to evaluate the varietal and environmental variations in fresh root yield, cyanide potential and physic chemical properties A. total...

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by a group of begomoviruses and transmitted by whitefly vector is a serious disease in all the cassava-growing areas of Africa. Field evaluation with replication was conducted in 2003 and 2004 in three agroecologies in Nigeria to study the response of 40 cassav...

The distribution of the cyanogenic potential in cassava germplasm has been found to be a continuum from very low values to high levels. Within the same genotype, the cyanogenic potential is affected by the planting season; it is low when planted at the beginning of the rainy season, and high when...

A total of 436 African landraces and 497 improved cassava genotypes were planted in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 growing seasons.. These were evaluated for their reactions to cassava anthracnose disease (CAD) under natural infection conditions at Ibadan (a high infection zone). The severity of the d...

The problem of genotype-by-environment (G x E) interactions that often complicates the interpretation of multilocational trial analysis making the prediction of genotype performance difficult can be eased with the adoption of the Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) model a...

The identification of superior genotypes and mega-environments on the basis of multiple traits is a key objective of multi-environment trials in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). The objective of this study was to examine the genetic variation and genotype 3 environment interaction (GEI) effect...
