The guide aims to provide all the most important information needed to design and implement effective systems including those that combine sweetpotato with a range of other crops, either as intercrops or in rotations, but with the primary focus on sweetpotato.

Sweetpotato silage manual for smallholder farmers.
Smallholders in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) have limited access to timely availability of quality sweetpotato seed which contributes to sub-optimal root yields. To enhance availability and access to quality seed it is necessary to link formal plant breeding efforts to a sustainable seed sup...

Sweetpotato breeding requires at least 5 years to obtain an advanced breeding clone for further testing with the goal of cultivar release. An accelerated breeding scheme (ABS) can be feasible if the genotype × year interaction is low. The objectives of the present study were to describe an ABS fo...
