Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) remains a major threat to cassava production in Mozambique. Breeding for CBSD resistant varieties that are also preferred by farmers is an integral part of managing the disease. The main objective of the study was to determine the genetic relationship between f...
Cassava is an important food and cash crop in Malawi. It is also becoming increasingly important for industrial use. The aim of this study was to investigate the native starch quality of different Malawi cassava genotypes. Trials were conducted at Chitedze and Makoka in Malawi in the 2000/01 seas...
Fertilizer application is known to increase crop yields and mitigate net soil nutrient mining due to continuous removal. However, smallholder farmers rarely apply adequate fertilizers because of high cost, limited availability and lack of awareness. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the eff...
Cassava in Malawi is the second most important staple food crop after maize. This paper assesses the impact of agricultural research for development approach in Malawi on cassava yields, per capita area planted to cassava and household calorie intake from cassava and maize. Given the growing inte...
The African root and tuber scale insect (ARTS)(Stictococcus vayssierei. Richard) has increasingly become a major pest of cassava in the forest areas of the Bas-Fleuve District in the most western province of the Democratic Republic of Congo where it was known since long ago without any noticeable...

Farmers, researchers, extension officers and policy makers need reliable yield data on banana (Musa spp.) to make informed decisions. There are no standard yield determination methods available for Musa research. Production patterns and types vary distinctly in time and space. This requires speci...
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), and cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs), were investigated in a country-wide survey conducted in six cassava-producing prefectures (administrative regions) of Rwanda in 2001. CMD occurred throughout the country at an average incidence of 30%. Incidence was highest in...
The rate of cassava leaf consumption in Africa was assessed by a combination of informal interviews, the use of questionnaires and information from the literature. Countries were rated to have high, average, low, or no consumption of cassava leaves. The mode of cassava leaf preparation was studie...
