Being easy to grow and drought tolerant, cassava is a popular crop among Thai farmers, particularly in the Northeast and East. The area planted annually is 1.28-1.60 million hectares. Because of drought and infertile soils in these areas, cassava yields average only 13-14 t/ha with about 18 perce...

Economically and politically, cassava is considered less important than rice, soybean and maize. Government's investment in the infrastructure and institutions for cassava extension and technology transfer is far less than those for the three major food crops. The infrastructure for varietal diss...

The report covers varietal improvement for the period 1990-1993. Not much progress was made in the 1990/91 season due to the occurence of a super typhoon that damaged standing field trials. In recent years, however, progress in selection was made in terms of high yield and dry matter content and ...

This paper describes the general situation and the existing problems of the extension of new cassava varieties, agronomic practices as well as processing technologies under the conditions of highly intensive agriculture in China. Cassava has been cultivated in China for over 170 years. Its produc...

In Vietnam, extension activities are considered by the government as an urgent and longterm measure, that has a great influence on the production process of farmer commodity production. Among extension objectives, cassava production is given great importance in those areas where appropriate condi...

Research in bean economics includes production, marketing and consumption, and policy studies. Production research focuses on 2 mutually reinforcing themes: (1) assessment of the spread of new var. recently released to farmers by national programs; and (2) assessment of farmers' current productio...

La investigacion en economia de frijol incluye estudios en produccion, mercadeo, consumo y politicas. La investigacion en produccion se enfoca en 2 esquemas que se refuerzan mutuamente: 1) evaluacion de la diseminacion de las nuevas var. recientemente liberadas a los agricultores por los programa...
