The correct placement of fertilizer materials has a major effect on quantity of nutrient available for plant use and quantity lost through erosion and leaching. Thus, the effects of manure placement on whole-plant dry matter production and growth analysis traits were studied in a screen-house. Th...

Manure placement influenced growth and dry matter yield of a plantain hybrid
A complete set of guidelines is provided for conducting cassava regional trials. In addition to general guidelines on site selection, exptl. design, planting and harvesting time, and others, specific recommendations are given on technology to be used for the different agronomic practices required...
In sub-Saharan Africa region, most sweetpotato are produced from diverse landraces that have constant turnover. The preference for high dry matter is between 28 to 35%. CIP breeding strategy for the past 15 years has been to collect, characterize, and conserve farmers' varieties; evaluate and dis...
