Vitamin A deficiency has been one of the major nutritional problems for many countries where cassava is eaten as a major source of energy. In an attempt to help reduce the incidence of vitamin A deficiency, bio-fortified cassava which contains more pro-vitamin A carotenoids than the white cassava...

M ultiple environment trials (MET) are generally carried out by plant breeders to select and recommend high yielding and stable genotypes for a set of environments. The analysis of MET data often results in genotype - by - environment interactions which often ...


Agyeman, A.Parkes, E.Peprah, B.B.[AMMI and GGE biplot analysis of root yield performance of cassava genotypes in the forest and coastal ecologies]AMMI and GGE biplot analysis of root yield performance of cassava genotypes in the forest and coastal ecologies

Nigeria is the world’s largest cassava producer, hosting a diverse array of cassava farmers and processors. Cassava breeding programs prioritize “common denominator” traits in setting breeding agendas, to impact the largest possible number of people through improved varieties. This approach has b...


Teeken, B.Olaosebikan, O.Haleegoah, J.Oladejo, E.Madu, T.Bello, A.Parkes, E.Egesi, Chiedozie N.Kulakow, P.Kirscht, H.Tufan, Hale Ann[Cassava trait preferences of men and women farmers in Nigeria: implications for breeding]Cassava trait preferences of men and women farmers in Nigeria: implications for breeding

Genotype by environment interaction remains a substantial issue in all breeding programs. Crop genotypes are generally developed in a central breeding location, but always require the evaluation of breeding products in different environments. This is particularly relevant in countries that have a...

Cassava is a major staple and food security crop in Africa which can produce a crop under uncertain rainfall and low fertility conditions. How- ever, it suffers from several pests and diseases, with Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) being the main biotic constraint in production in s...

Breeding for resistant genotypes is the best strategy to offset the destructive effects of cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava bacterial blight (CBB). Two sets of diallel parents were selected for the forest and the savannah ecological zones in Ghana based on good levels of resistance to CMD...

The study was carried out to quantify the genotype × environment interaction (G × E) and to estimate the phenotypic stability by genotype genotype × environment (GGE) biplot of nine cassava clones comprising 5 hybrids, 3 parent checks and 1 improved variety. The study was planted across three dif...

A study was conducted to assess the extent of genetic variability, broad-sense heritability and correlations for fresh root weight, root number and top weight of five cassava genotypes across three locations in 2 years. Combined analysis of variance revealed highly significant genotypic effect fo...

Genetic enhancement of cassava aimed at increasing productivity through the provision of broad-based which improved germplasm and is also a major goal for cassava breeders. 10 genotypes (4 landraces and 6 developed lines) were evaluated at Fumesua, Ejura and Pokuase in 2 growing seasons in a rand...
