Different aspects related to deterioration, treatments to extend cassava root durability, and root storage practices are briefly reviewed. The initiation and subsequent level of deterioration of cassava roots is closely related to the presence of mechanical damage which is normally caused at harv...

Se revisan brevemente los diferentes aspectos relacionados con la deterioracion, los tratamientos para extender la durabilidad de las raices de yuca y las practicas de almacenamiento de las mismas. El inicio y el grado posterior de deterioracion de las raices esta estrechamente relacionado con la...

During 1981 genotype evaluation and selection continued at the ICA (Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario)-Caribia and the ICA-CIAT- Carimagua stations and at CIAT-Palmira, considered representative sites, resp., of (1) low-input technology with medium to high fertility soils in hot, lowland tropics ...

Durante 1981 se continuo la evaluacion y seleccion de genotipos en ICA (Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario)-Caribia, ICA-CIAT- Carimagua y CIAT--Palmira que son sitios representativos, resp., de tecnologias de 1) bajos insumos en suelos de fertilidad intermedia- alta en el tropico calido de tierra...

During 1981 the introduction of germplasm was continued with an additional 147 clones from Brazil in the form of aseptic meristem cultures. Cassava germplasm bank evaluation for adaptation, resistance to diseases and pests, yield, and root quality is in progress in the north coast of Colombia (Me...

Durante 1981 se continuo la introduccion de germoplasma, especialmente 147 clones de Brasil en la forma de cultivo de meristemos. Se siguio la evaluacion del banco de germoplasma de yuca por su adaptacion, resistencia a enfermedades y plagas rendimiento y calidad de las raices en la Costa Norte d...

The role of integrated development projects in the planning of institutional activities in the agricultural sector is analyzed. CIAT's participation in the national integrated rural development program, DRI, with the cassava natural drying project for animal feed on Colombia's Atlantic Coast, is ...

Se analiza el papel de los proyectos de desarrollo integrado en la planificación de actividades institucionales en el sector agricola. Se revisa la participación de CIAT en el programa nacional de desarrollo rural integrado, DRI, con el proyecto de secado natural de la yuca para alimentación anim...

Since 1990 we have undertaken a large number of experiments and conducted research on the development and use of cassava roots and leaves as animal feed resources, in order to explore the possibility of substituting cassava-based feeds for those of grain, thus saving grain for human consumption t...

Results of research carried out at El Carmen Regional Research Center during 1987A/1988A are presented. The process of var. selection is carried out in 3 phases: F1C1, the 1st F1 clonal generation; preliminary yield trials; and yield trials. The selection criteria applied in each trial are detail...

Se presentan los resultados de investigacion realizada en el Centro Regional de Investigacion El Carmen durante 1987A-1988A. El proceso de seleccion var. se realiza en 3 fases consecutivas: F1C1 la primera generacion clonal de F1, ensayos preliminares de rendimiento y ensayos de rendimiento. Se d...

The most important quality factors are identified for each end use given to cassava (human consumption, animal consumption, starch production). Information available on the effects of harvest time, plant age, soil/climatic factors, and abiotic factors (pests and diseases) on cassava quality param...

Se identifican los factores de calidad mas importantes para cada uso de la yuca (consumo humano, consumo animal, produccion de almidon). Se resume la informacion existente sobre el efecto que la epoca de cosecha, la edad de la planta y los factores edaphoclimaticos y bioticos (plagas y enfermedad...

Cassava is an important crop in the tropics. The Manihot genus had 98 species and no barriers for efficient reproductive isolation have been observed; therefore plant breeders have an immense gene pool to work with. Genes from wild species have already been successfully used to obtain var. resist...

La yuca es un cultivo importante en los tropicos. El genero Manihot tiene 98 especies y no se han observado barreras para el aislamiento eficiente con fines reproductivos; por tanto, los fitomejoradores tienen un inmenso acervo genico con que trabajar. Ya se han utilizado exitosamente genes de es...
