Brief data are given on the origin and geographic distribution of cassava, uses and nutritional value. The importance of research efforts is pointed out. (CIAT)
Guidelines are provided to acquaint the personnel of national programs and other collaborators with the procedures to recover, propagate, and transplant culture materials after their arrival. These include: (1) recovery of the cultures by direct potting of cassava plants after short trips; 1 wk. ...
In Mondomo, state of Cauca (Colombia), a socioeconomic survey was made of the 7 famers in the area that participated in the program of demonstration plots. In general terms the educational level is varied, the majority (6) are full-time farmers who have lived in the area greater than 10 yr and ha...
Root storage: IIT offers laboratory analysis on reducing sugars and starch and an organoleptic panel for consumer acceptance studies. The Cafeteros offer a large supply of roots for further storage work, three farm sites to place the silos, and maketing outlets (already operating) to study transp...
Several physical and biological factors that limit cassava productivity are described: temp. and photoperiod, soil water availability, RH, soil characteristics (fertility and pH), and pests and diseases. Six edapho--climatic zones (ECZ) for cassava production are defined on the basis of temp.: lo...
Plant tissue culture includes a wide range of techniques: protoplast, cell, anther, callus, meristem and organ culture, all having one common factor: the growth of vegetative material in an aseptic environment; i,e., the sterilized culture medium in test tubes. In spite of the fact that several o...
A pilot-scale through circulation drier, using solar heated air, has been developed for drying cassava chips. The design of the drier system, which includes a bottom ventilated drying bin, centrifugal fan, and solar collector, is described. In the evaluation trials the variables studied were drie...
From July 1984 to June 1985, 13 new drying plants were established on the Atlantic Coast of Colombia for a total of 20 plants. During the 1984-85 campaign, these plants processed 7158 t fresh cassava (total of 3006 t dry cassava), representing an increase of 217 percent over the previous campaign...
Cassava mealybugs constitute one of the major production problems of cassava in Africa and the Americas. The species already identified that attack cassava in the Americas include Phenacoccus manihoti, P. herreni, P. gossypii, and P. grenadensis. Since its introduction into Africa, P. manihoti ha...
Cassava is a low-priority crop in agricultural development policies in most L.A. countries, limiting active research and extension activities. A description is given of CIAT-generated low- cost technology that can increase yields. This package consists of the visual selection of planting material...
