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 ...

Drought tolerance combined with resistance to black sigatoka (BS) disease are two desirable traits for plantains in some parts of the tropics. Field evaluation of leaf stomatal conductance, single leaf transpiration rate, photochemical efficiency, and role of stomata in BS resistance, was done fo...

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...

In the Nigeria savanna (derived, Guinea and Sudan) belt, continuous production of crops with short or no fallow cycle, with small amounts or no fertilizer and mixed cropping is a prevalent land use system. Cultivation of cassava as a staple supplementary food source in relatively degraded savanna...

Twelve cassava (Manihot esculenta crantz) genotypes were grown at two field sites in Nigeria representing lowland and mid-altitude agroecological zones from 1994 to 1996 (Ibadan and Jos). Leaf area development and dry matter partitioning were studied by the destructive growth analyses at 3, 6, 9,...
