Forty different cultivars of cassava were grown in unreplicated plots at a plant population of 20,000 plants/ha in fertile soil. Harvests were taken at 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mo after planting 18 varieties. The characteristics of the 2 highest yielding varieties, M Colombia 113 (66 tons/ha) and M Col...
Three varieties in one cassava trial and 5 in another were planted in a sytematic density experiment, which showed that optimum plant density for root yield changes with plant age. Some varieties showed a pronounced optimum plant population whereas others showed a flat-topped response curve. Redu...
