Growth and N uptake in pot-grown maize, beans, and cassava were evaluated under 2 levels of soil N at CIAT-Palmira (Colombia). The lower amount of the element reduced its uptake by the 3 species, resulting in lower tissue concn., especially in the leaves. Under low N, DM accumulation was also red...

The effects produced by water stress and three relative humidity (R.H) levels (3q-53%, 5461% & 62-82%) were measured on photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate. Stomatal opening and density were measured in stressed and non stressed plants of plantain (Dominico-Harton) and ora...

Although cassava -a tropical crop- is regarded as a staple food crop for millions of people worldwide, it is still considered as a subsistence crop and seldom receives adequate crop management. Average yields are less than 8 t/ha. Colombia`s North Coast, where large areas of sandy soils are plant...

As cassava is grown mostly by small resource-limited farmers throughout the tropics on low-fertility soils with little fertilization and, due to the large potassium (K) export in harvested roots, genotypes that tolerate low-K soils and respond to K fertilization are warranted. The objective of th...

Four contrasting varieties of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) were grown for ten months over two consecutive seasons in hillside Colombia with or without nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilization. Sequential harvests were every two months. The two varieties well adapted to acid soils (C...

In recent studies of cassava at CIAT, net CO2 uptake rates of 20 to 35 ?mol CO2 m?2 s?1 were commonly observed. Cassava photosynthesis has a high optimum temperature (35°C) and a wide plateau (25 to 35°C) corresponding to the temperature range under which cassava is cultivated. Leaf photosynthesi...

The paper summarizes research conducted at International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) on responses of cassava to extended water shortages in the field aided by modern gas-exchange and water-relation techniques as well as biochemical assays. The aim of the research was to coordinate basi...

A two-year field trial was conducted to study the effects of prolonged water stress on cassava (Manihot esculenta) productivity, and on nutrient uptake and use efficiency. Four contrasting cultivars were supplied with adequate fertilization and watering, except when water was excluded by covering...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a staple food for a large sector of human population in the tropics. It is widely produced for its starchy roots by small farmers over a range of environments on poor infertile soils with virtually no inputs. It is highly productive under favorable conditions...
