This chapter discusses various sources of nutrients to be applied to prevent soil nutrient depletion, as well as the optimum rates, times and methods of their application. It also describes how computer models can predict site-specific nutrient requirements and balanced fertilizer rates to maximi...

Field inoculation trials with cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) were conducted in Quilichao (typic Dystropept soil) and Carimagua (Haplustox soil). In Quilichao, with a large and effective native VA-mycorrhizal (VAM) population, inoculation withGlomus manihotis did not increase cassava yields si...

A three different sites with acid soils in Colombia field trials with cassava were monitored for frequency of VA mycorrhiza. Increasing levels of phosphorus (P) from 0 to 200 kg P/ha had been applied. The fields differed in the composition of species of VA mycorrhizal fungi. At all sites infectio...
