Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the second most important food crop after rice, the staple in Sierra Leone; it is also the most important root and tuber crop. It is followed by sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.), yam (Dioscorea spp.), which forms
part of the traditional farming system and ha...

Nine yellow root and one white root cassava genotypes were evaluated in ten environments in Ghana for the variability of their beta carotene content in root. The aim was to identify cassava genotypes that have high beta carotene content in storage root to combat the widespread vitamin A deficienc...

Discusses the effects of the interaction among genotype, animal health & nutrition on livestock productivity within a particular environment, w. spec. ref. to results of work undertaken by ILCA on the nutrition component of the system, using availability & composition of forage, and composition &...
Presents papers dealing with the use of crop residues as livestock feed in smallholder crop/livestock farming systems, and the role of plant breeding in maintaining or improving their nutritive value. Discusses factors limiting the nutritive value of crop residues, and the effect of genotype and...

Discovery of single nucleotide polymorphisms, (SNPs) as a tool in marker-assisted breeding of cassava, Manihot esculenta was studied. The principal objective of this study is to discover single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in some panels of elite lines (ELs) of cassava and in some mapping popu...

Cassava is a key food security crop in sub-Saharan Africa, and is increasingly offering opportunities for income generation from the sale of fresh roots, cuttings and diverse processed products. The total fresh root production is increasingly constrained,
by the two principal biotic constraints; ...
