This list consists of an initial set of characterization and evaluation descriptors for cassava utilization. This key set of strategic descriptors, together with passport data, will become the basis for the global accession-level information system being developed by the Bioversity-led project, G...

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)

A bried description is given of swine-feeding trials using different forms of cassava, soybean soap stock and dehydrated chicken manure as substitutes for maize. It has been found than 30 and 60 percent dehydrated cassava ampas (by-product of starch extraction) can be used satisfactorily to repla...

The progress made during the 1st yr of an interinstitutional collaborative project among CIAT, the Instituto de Investigaciones Tecnologicas, and the U. del Valle, on the processing, production, and use of CF, is described. The 3 main areas of research were: economic studies, design and developme...

The purpose of this symposium was to prepare recommendations for the Colombian Government so that they can follow a definite course of action with regard to the planning of cassava cultivation and to ensure that the technology being generated by the research institutions is transferred to the far...

Research results obtained by the Cassava and Swine programs at the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario are discussed. Low HCN var. should be used for swine feeding; the most promising var. is Llanera, which can yield 78 t/ha/10 mo and has a high crude protein content (7.25 percent). Balanced diets ...
