La concurrence des mauvaises herbes est un obstacle à la rentabilité de la production du manioc. La connaissance des espèces de mauvaises herbes qui affectent négativement la productivité du manioc est essentielle pour une gestion efficace. Une étude a été conduite entre mai et juin 2014 et 2015 ...

Standard stake yield (SSY) was estimated using data from multi-locational trials in 11 locations. These were: Onne, Obrikom, Warri, Obayantor, Umudike, Nanka, Akure, Ajibode, Ibadan, and Zaria during 2003-2005 season. The aim was to identify location suitable for stem production and also to estim...

Standard stake yield of 43 CMD cassava genotypes in 11 locations of Nigeria: implications for stem supply systems
There is strong relationship between the weight of stake to be planted and it ability to emerge. Therefore, only good quality stem should be cut, partitioned into stakes, and treated for planting to optimise the limited resource of land area and other input engaged in the cassava cultivation ente...
