The seventh testing cycle for promising CIAT selections under improved, low-input technology was completed in 1981 at 9 locations in Colombia. The overall av. yield of the trials was 8.5 t/ha/yr, which is nearly 3 times the national av. yield of 3-3.5 t/ha. Av. yield of local cv. was about twice ...

Advances in research of the soil and plant nutrition section of CIAT's Cassava Program in 1981 are given regarding symptoms of Ca and S deficiency, germplasm screening for adaptation to high acidity and/or low P; effect of fertilization (long-term fertility); level and time of K application; effe...

Research on plant pathology carried out during 1981 emphasized the study of some epidemiological, etiological, and physiological factors related to the occurrence of the superelongation disease of cassava caused by Sphaceloma manihoticola. Dry-heat treatments (60 degrees Celsius for 14 days) brea...

During 1981 the analysis of the potential adoption and impact of improved cassava production technology was continued at various levels and included: farm-level studies of the profitability of improved technology and constraints to adoption; analysis of costs of processing and marketing; and rese...

Durante 1981 se continuo el analisis de la adopcion potencial y el impacto de la tecnologia mejorada en la produccion de yuca en varios niveles se incluyo: estudios sobre la rentabilidad de tecnologia mejorada en fincas y limitaciones para la adopcion; analisis de costos de procesamiento y mercad...

During 1981 the introduction of germplasm was continued with an additional 147 clones from Brazil in the form of aseptic meristem cultures. Cassava germplasm bank evaluation for adaptation, resistance to diseases and pests, yield, and root quality is in progress in the north coast of Colombia (Me...

Durante 1981 se continuo la introduccion de germoplasma, especialmente 147 clones de Brasil en la forma de cultivo de meristemos. Se siguio la evaluacion del banco de germoplasma de yuca por su adaptacion, resistencia a enfermedades y plagas rendimiento y calidad de las raices en la Costa Norte d...

Advances of the mycorrhiza project of CIAT's Cassava Program are highlighted. Objectives include the collection, maintenance, multiplication, and testing of mycorrhizal strains and determination of favorable cultural practices for maintaining mycorrhizal activity during the growth period of cassa...

The principal objective of on-farm trials is to provide feedback to the technology generation/var. improvement process. The trials carried out by CIAT and the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario on farms in the Colombian regions of Huila, (10 farms in 1980 A), Antioquia (14 farms in 1979 A and 1980...

El objetivo principal de los ensayos a nivel de finca es proveer informacion de retorno al proceso de generacion de tecnologia y mejoramiento var.
