Studies were conducted at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, (IITA) to study the incidence and spread of the Spiralling whitefly (SWF) (Aleurodicus dispersus) at the IITA campus in lbadan, Nigeria, and the response of some of IITA's elite cassava germplasm to infestation by this...

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...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the second most important food crop after rice, the staple in Sierra Leone; it is also the most important root and tuber crop. It is followed by sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.), yam (Dioscorea spp.), which forms part of the traditional farming system and ha...

Several cassava genotypes were observed although there were few bred varieties. The wide diversity in the cassava landraces was a consequence of the action of the farmers in continuously abandoning and introducing cultivars into their system as they tried to select those cultivars that met their ...
