A trial was conducted on planting date and age at harvest at 2 exptl stations of the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario -Carimagua (Meta) and Caribia (Magdalena)- to evaluate the physical production and quality of cassava produced under different climatic conditions and to identify a continuous pr...

La Colorada, on the North Coast of Colombia, was chosen by CIAT to study new technology validation in cassava. Trials measured the productivity of improved cassava production technology under actual field conditions, defined factors limiting cassava yields that may have been overlooked in the des...
This is an overview of the present status of cassava as regards production and yields, nutritional value and international research programs. A cassava research program to be developed by CIAT is presented. The program covers the following areas: varietal improvement, production systems, internat...

The results are given of physicochemical analyses of soils and estimated cassava yields for five production zones in Colombia. There was little correlation between yield and the factors studied. Yields tended to increase as P increased; and there was a positive response to K in 2 zones and Ca/Mg ...

Feasible overall goals for cassava breeding in Asia are proposed on the basis of current national cassava breeding programs, achievements, and cassava demand in the following Asian Countries: Thailand, Philippines, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and Vietnam. CIAT germplasm that has been selec...
Agricultural research in developing countries has lacked relevance to farm-level production problems, especially appropriate technologies for small-scale or limited-resource farmers. Currently research institutions are directing their efforts towards these objectives. This paper is a preliminary ...

The role of economists in on-farm testing in agricultural research
Two trials were conducted at the CIAT expt station in Cali, Colombia, to measure the effect of spatial arrangement at fixed planting densities on cassava root yield. In expt I, 3 cassava cv. of different growth habit were planted at 10,000 plants/ha and arranged in 5 different patterns. Experimen...

However, the distribution of these benefits among consumers and producers greatly varies according to the assumptions made for the type of economy (open or closed). The scenario with a closed economy reveals that the brunt of the benefits (86%) go to consumers; in contrast, in a partially opened ...
