Soil degradation, both due to soil erosion and nutrient removal, is a major problem in cassava fields. Most of the existing management technologies that have been developed have had little success in adoption. Some of the reasons are that the technology developed is technically oriented, based on...

Nutritional studies of cassava have shown that in high-P acid laterite soils, there was no response to P application during four years of consecutive cropping. In low-P soil, even though cassava initially responded to 100 kg P2O5/ha, the response gradually declined. The optimum economic dose of P...

Annual growth of cassava production in the main cassava production areas during the last five years seems to have kept pace with the increase in population, while the harvested area of cassava increased only 0.6% annually. Of the total cassava produced, about 54% is used for human food, 28% for i...

Over the period 1994-1996, seven batches of seeds and two of meristem tissue cultures were evaluated and selected. As important as root yield is the trait starch content (or dry matter content) if a clone is to be accepted as a starch cultivar. At the time of reporting a number of clones have bee...
Five soil types on which cassava is being planted were investigated. Almost all these soils are degraded in terms of soil properties, especially with respect to soil fertility. Cassava is traditionally planted without fertilizer application and soil conservation measures, resulting in a negative ...

During the last three years cassava production in the Philippines did not progress markedly, neither in area nor in volume. In terms of area, there was only an increase of 14,424 ha or 6.4%, while in terms of volume the increase was 112,177 metric tons or 5.7%. One of the reasons for this was the...

Los frijoles (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) son un componente fundamental de la dieta y un cultivo importante en todo el Caribe. Las siembras anuales de frijoles en la región exceden 200,000 ha aunque los rendimientos son bajos -de 400 a 900 kg/ha. El frijol es producido casi todo el año en diferentes s...
La historia del mejoramiento del frijol Phaseolus vulgaris en la Costa del Perú, puede dividirse en dos etapas; la primera comprendida entre 1957 y 1975, iniciada con la creación del Programa Nacional de Frijol; y la segunda, a partir de la década del 80, con el establecimiento del Programa Nacio...
