Fifty-three cassava lines were selected from breeding populations at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria and screened in vitro for resistance to cassava anthracnose disease (CAD). The in vitro inoculation of stem cuttings with the fungus Colletotrichum gloe...

Ten Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz) genotypes were assessed for phenotypic fresh tuber yield stability for 2 years in nine locations in three West African countries (Nigeria, Ghana and Benin). From a combined analysis of variance for fresh yield, all main effects were significant. First order...

Analysis of phenotypic stability in ten cassava genotypes in three West African countries
Three traits, namely root number (RTNO), root weight(RTWT) and fresh yield (FYLD) of some cassava genotypes wrer scored and analysed for heritability. The genotypes differed significantly for each of the tree traits. Generally heritability per replicate was above 50% indicating that the additive ...
