Molecular-marker-aided evaluation of germplasm plays an important role indefining the genetic diversity of plant genotypes for genetic and populationimprovement studies. A collection of African cassava landraces and elite culti-vars was analysed for genetic diversity using 20 amplified fragment l...

This study was conducted to investigate a cheap and readily available alternative control measure for cassava anthracnose disease causal agent (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides f. sp. manihotis), through the use of antimicrobial crude plant extracts such as neem (Azadirachta indica), bitter leaf (V...

Cassava (Manihot spp.) improvement strategies at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) are discussed here in relation to the main constraints, target ecologies and utilization of exotic germplasm. Germplasm generated from IITA populations and from other African or non-African...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) crop is widely known adapt to variable drought conditions. Due to the lack of adapted and high-yielding cultivars tolerant to the prevalent biotic and abiotic stresses, cassava is yet to find a wide and appropriate niche in the farming systems of the African dry...

Nine cassava genotypes were evaluated for their growth responses and adaptability to soil moisture stress on the field and in the screen house in Nigeria. Genotypes were evaluated in three savanna agroecologies in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Screen house evaluation w...
