IITAs improved cassava: a cheap means of deploying protein amonst the poor
Processing cassava onto pellets, an internationally acceptable and commercially rewarding cassava product minimizes quantitative and qualitative losses. Pellet samples were produced through the conventional chipping, drying, milling then pelleting with and without steaming (CDMP-S and CDMP) and m...
There is an increasing interest in the use of cassava roots for food and industrial purposes especially in the
baking industry in Nigeria. Development of some cassava mosaic disease (CMD) resistant clones and
application of inorganic fertilizers are principal strategies targeted in the country to...

Cassava is widely consumed in Africa where malnutrition is rampant; there is, therefore, a major effort to produce micronutrient biofortified cassava. Adoption of such cassava genotypes will largely depend on their agronomic performance, resistance to biotic stresses, and the stability of these t...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the second most important staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa, providing up to 285 calories per person per day. Cassava starch is a potentially important industrial material in Malawi. Industries hesitate to use cassava starch because the powder sold by so...

Cassava is the most important root and tuber crop in Sierra Leone. Its low yield can be attributed to several production-limiting factors including cassava mosaic disease (CMD). This study examined in a much wider scope the diversity, prevalence, distribution, incidence and level of severity of t...

Providing correct estimates of the carotenoid content of cassava varieties is very important in any cassava-breeding program for improving vitamin A intakes in sub-Saharan Africa especially among high-risk groups. The effect of different sampling methods-sampling with cork-borer(SPM1) and samplin...

Micronutrients content in a cleared forestland continuously cropped for seven years with cassava, maize, pigeon pea and their combinations and subsequently fallowed for eight years were monitored in this study in order to determine the availability of these nutrients after these years. Soil sampl...
