The leaf is the site of photosynthetic activities and crop productivity is controlled by the sizes and efficiency of leaves. Leaf development in cassava can be dependent on genetic makeup of the plant and it is sensitive to temperature. The aim of this study was to quantify the relationships betw...

Climatic and edaphic factors are important determinants of the growth and yield potential of an ecological environment. Among other cultural practices, planting methods play a very vital role in the performance of a crop. The effects of planting methods and soil moisture on cassava (Manihot escul...

Twelve cassava genotypes were evaluated in the field in two cropping seasons at two locations in Nigeria for their reaction to cassava mosaic disease (CMD), cassava bacterial blight (CBB) and cassava green mite (CGM), using visual injury scores as the index for resistance. Lowest indices for CMD ...

Cassava sweet potato intercropping experiments were carried out at Ukiriguru (semiarid zone), Tanzania during the period from 1989-91. Four cassava varieties used were, Msitu Zanzibar, Alpim valenca, Mzimbirala and Liongo control. The second experiment tested four cassava planting densities, 6666...
