Amplified fragment length polymophism was assessed in 20 land races and nine elite lines of cassava from Africa, resistant and susceptible to the cassava mosaic disease (CMD). Eleven accessions from a representative core collection from Latin America, previously studied by AFLPs, were included as...

Twelve cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes were planted under natural field conditions for two different cropping seasons (wet and dry), in 1992 and 1993 at the research farm of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria. The trial studied the effect of p...

Iron (Fe) and Zinc (Zn) concentrations in tuberous roots of twenty-five cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes were determined over 2 years (2004/2005 and 2005/2006) at five locations representing distinct agroecologies in Nigeria. The objectives were to study the magnitude and nature of ge...

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is the most-important disease of cassava (Manihot esculenta) in Africa, and is a potential threat to Latin American (LA) cassava production. Although this viral disease is still unknown in LA, its vector – the whitefly – has recently been found. The disease is best co...

Dry yield and yield components from 6 multilocational trials of cassava genotypes conducted for 3 years in Nigeria were used to study the nature and magnitude of genotype x environment (G x E) interaction and to determine the optimum resource allocation for cassava yield trials. The effects of en...

The objective of this study was to determine variations in root and foliage yields, crude protein (CP), and dry matter (DM) degradation characteristics of foliage among 25 cassava clones selected for green mite resistance at Ibadan, south-western Nigeria. Clones were sampled 12 months after plant...
