The objectives of this study were to collect and characterise Malawian cassava germplasm using ethnobotany, morphological and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Exploration of accessions with the help of indigenous knowledge was done. Ninety three accessions collected from f...
When cassava is harvested too early, it often leads to reduction in yield, while delayed harvest leads to development of woody and fibrous tuberous roots, and reduction in starch content. The optimum harvest time is not known. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of genotype,...

Already, cassava provides more than half of the dietary calories for over 200 million people in sub-Saharan Africa (about ha...
The Southern Africa Root Crops Research Netwrok (SARRNET), in collaboration with national research programmes in Southern Africa Development Community (SADC ) have made considerable impact in the SADC region in terms of promoting cassava (Manihot esculenta) and sweetpotato (Ipomea batatus) produc...
Le réseau de recherche du sud de l'Afrique en racines des plantes (SARRNET), en collaboration avec les programmes de recherche national des communautés de développement du sud de l'Afrique (SADC) ont rapporté des impacts considérables dans la région du SADC en termes de promotion de production de...
