An experiment was conducted to study the performance of nine genotypes of potato under hill zone of Karnataka. Among nine genotypes, maximum tuber sprout percentage was observed in Kufri Jyoti (100) followed by TT7011 (98.75) and least percentage was in C-28 (89.16). Kufri Jyoti performed better ...

The effects of 0.2% aqueous solution of colchicine on the survival rate and morphological features of five accessions of Dioscorea alata were investigated. Sprouting buds of two month old plants were treated with 0.2% colchicine and their performances were monitored until maturity. Survival of bu...

(1) The effects of the cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti Mat.-Ferr., on cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz, growth, development and yields as modified by weather, soil water and nitrogen, and natural enemies were examined. (2) Rainfall-induced mortality and plant carbohydrate stress were the...

Millions of people around the world, particularly in West Africa, depend on yam for food and income, however global yam production has been fluctuating since 2007. Virus infections contribute to yam yield losses and the occurrence of mixed virus infections is potentially catastrophic. Planting of...

A major constraint facing yam producers in southeastern Nigeria is poor storage of the tubers. Farmers in the area also opine that yams grown with mineral fertilizers tend to have shorter shelf life than those grown without mineral fertilizers. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of ...

Roots and tubers have great potential to support food security and build resilient livelihoods among the poorest and most vulnerable people in Malawi. The Root and tuber crops for agricultural transformation in Malawi (RTC-ACTION Malawi) project aims to boost production and consumption of these c...
