Four on-farm trials were established in Cordoba and Sucre, Colombia, to assess different storage methods using the regional cassava var. Venezolana (M Col 2215). Three treatments were common to all expt.: the 1st was use of fresh seed (unstored). The 2nd consisted in branches grouped in bunches o...
Se establecieron 4 expt. en fincas de agricultores en los dept. de Cordoba y Sucre, Colombia, para evaluar distintos modalidades de almacenamiento de la var. regional de yuca Venezolana (M Col 2215). Tres tratamientos fueron comunes a todos los expt.: el primero fue semilla fresca (sin almacenar)...

The different factors that affect yield stability over time are discussed on the basis of results of numerous studies carried out at the exptl. station and on-farm levels. Among these are soil and climatic conditions, pests and diseases, use of different cultural practices (planting, spacing, cro...
Se discuten diferentes factores que afectan la estabilidad del rendimiento en el tiempo, con base en los resultados de numerosos estudios realizados a nivel de estacion exptl. y a nivel de finca. Entre estos factores estan las condiciones edaficas y climaticas, plagas y enfermedades, uso de pract...

Potatoes are commonly regarded as a bulky, perishable commodity with high transport costs and limited export potential, confined mostly to cross-border transactions. The potato is a good source of dietary energy and some micronutrients, and its protein content is very high in comparison with othe...
