Cassava clones CH92/082, TME 6 and BA95/070 were evaluated against Mbundumali, Phoso, Mulola and Sauti as checks. These clones were evaluated at Makoka, Mkondezi, Baka and Kasinthula Research Stations that represented different agro ecologies and in Mzuzu ADD under farmers' conditions. The object...

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,...

Siyeni, D.Mahungu, N.M.[National task forces for Malawi, Zambia, Angola, Tanzania and Democratic Republic of Congo on cassava]National task forces for Malawi, Zambia, Angola, Tanzania and Democratic Republic of Congo on cassava

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important root crop in Malawi and in sub-Saharan Africa. In Malawi, cassava has been produced mainly for household consumption as staple diet in most parts of the northern and southern regions, and as a snack and substitute to bread amongst most households...

Cassava, a crop widely adapted in the tropics, has the important attribute of withstanding adverse environmental conditions better than do many other staple crops. The performance of an individual genotype, however, is influenced by the environment in which it grows. In Malawi, the heterogeneity ...


Mkumbira, J.Mahungu, N.M.Gullberg, U.[Grouping locations for efficient cassava evaluation in Malawi]Grouping locations for efficient cassava evaluation in Malawi

Cassava roots contain cyanogenic glucosides. Malawian farmers classify cultivars into two groups based on the perceived danger of eating raw roots that they associate with bitterness. In the vernacular, cultivars that produce roots with bitter taste are called vyakubaba (bitter), whereas those yi...


Chiwona-Karltun, L.Brimer, L.Kalenga Saka, J.D.Mhone, A.R.Mkumbira, J.Johansson, L.Bokanga, M.Mahungu, N.M.Rosling, H.[Bitter taste in cassava roots correlates with cyanogenic glucoside levels]Bitter taste in cassava roots correlates with cyanogenic glucoside levels

Cassava(Manihot esculenta), a root crop originating in Tropical America, has been called Africa’s food insurance but vital as that is, it has the potential to be much more. Already, cassava provides more than half of the dietary calories for over 200 million people in sub-Saharan Africa (about ha...
