Fifteen cassava (Manihot esculentaCrantz) genotypes were grown at two field sites of Nigeria from 1994 to 1996 (Ibadan: 28±5°C, altitude 210 masl and Jos: 18±5°C, altitude of 1260 masl) to evaluate the use of chlorophyll fluorescence in screening for cold tolerance in cassava. At 12 months after ...

Leaf age effects on the leaf conductance to water vapour diffusion of the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces were measured in the morning and in the afternoon on 17 different plantain and banana (Musa spp.) genotypes. The irradiance levels increased three-fold while leaf to air vapour pressure def...

A substantial impact on Africa agriculture can be made through research on crop improvement for the extensive inland valley agro-ecosystems (IVS) extending from the humid forest to the savanna zones in sub saharan Africa. Systematic surveys of farmers have shown that cassava is a favoured upland ...

Identification of drought-tolerant and -resistant varieties of cassava is of paramount importance for the maximization of productivity potential in drought-prone areas. Nine improved cassava varieties developed in humid and subhumid agro-ecologies were evaluated for their growth responses and ada...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are well known phyto-stimulators of various growth processes of its symbiotic plants. Semi-controlled experiments were conducted in large container cultured cassava to investigate the influence of AM inoculation and water stress on leaf chlorophyll production fro...

Cultivated plantains and bananas (Musa spp.) are important staple crops in the humid forest and midaltitude ecologies of sub-Saharan Africa. Their water requirement is relatively high and they are very sensitive to dry soil conditions, which greatly limits their range of cultivation. While long-t...

The distribution of the cyanogenic potential in cassava germplasm has been found to be a continuum from very low values to high levels. Within the same genotype, the cyanogenic potential is affected by the planting season; it is low when planted at the beginning of the rainy season, and high when...

Cassava is predominantly an upland crop that is also cultivated in inland valley swamps (IVS). Identifying physiological traits that can withstand excess moisture stress can aid in the selection and use of stable cassava cultivars in IVS. Three cassava cultivars were evaluated for growth and yiel...

Arbucsular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) are implicated as phyto-stimulators of various physiological processes of its symbiotic plants. The influences of AM fungi and water deficit on quantum yield of photochemistry (Fv/Fm) of photo-system II of cassava leaves were therefore investigated. Field experi...
