Cassava is an important food and cash crop in Malawi. It is also becoming increasingly important for industrial use. The aim of this study was to investigate the native starch quality of different Malawi cassava genotypes. Trials were conducted at Chitedze and Makoka in Malawi in the 2000/01 seas...

An in vitro method for assessing cassava anthracnose disease (CAD) resistance was developed as a preliminary screen to a CAD‐resistant breeding programme. Potato dextrose agar (PDA) media was amended by extracts from the stem cortex of 10 cassava cultivars (30001; 30572, 30211, 88/02549, 88/00695...

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...
