Four attributes of stem quality: number of nodes1, diameter2, and stem weight3 per 25-cm plantable stake (PS), and the stake position4 were investigated in field trials at Blocks 4, 18 and 24 of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) Onne, Ajibode, Ibadan, Federal College of A...
An assessment of four pilot processing centers in Tanzania, established for processing cassava to high quality cassava flour, chips and starch based on IITA technologies was carried out from 2003 to 2005. We followed the value chain analysis approach, looking in detail at processing efficiency an...

Growing cassava: a training manual from production to postharvest
Breeding cassava relies on a phenotypic recurrent selection that takes advantage of the vegetative propagation of this crop. Successive stages of selection (single row trial- SRT; preliminary yield trial – PYT; advanced yield trial – AYT; and uniform yield trials UYT), gradually reduce the number...

Two new mutant cassava starches with extreme amylose contents (0 and 30 31%) have been recently reported. These mutants are drastically different from normal cassava starch whose amylose content typically ranges between 15 and 25%. The new mutants were compared with five normal cassava starches (...

Life table studies were conducted to assess the effect of constant temperature on the rate of population growth of the cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti Matile‐Ferrero. Four temperatures, between 20 and 30.5 °C, were tested. An inverse relationship was observed between temperature and most d...
