Although world cassava production has been increasing, it is shown that considerable cassava yield gaps still exist. Constraints are divided according to being endogenous and exogenous to the (plant and) production system. It is indicated that besides these constraints, considerable "adoption con...

Results of two completed and one continuing feeding/growth trials are discussed. When fed Panicum maximum plus concentrates ad lib, West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks attain a growth rate of 60 gd-1 at a DDMI of 53.3g kg0.75d-1 , which is estimated to be approximately 1.8 times the DDMI needed for ma...
