A study was undertaken to assess the effect of different pruning intervals of Leucaena leucocephala hedgerows on alley cropped maize and cassava. Farmers often delay hedgerow pruning in alley cropping systems due to labor, and financial constraints. It is not clear, however, when hedgerow shading...

New and alternative nutritious breads, can be produced from cassava flour fortified with 20% raw or roasted soy flour using locally available margarine with egg white, together or without xanthan gum. Margarine with egg white, increased control loaf volumes by 29%; the subsequent addition of xant...
Field trials were carried out on a Dystric Nitosol at Calavi in the subhumid zone of southern Benin Republic, West Africa from 1989-1997. A split plot design with four replications was used. There were (our main plots: control (no hedgerow), Leucaena hedgerows, Acacia hedgerows and mixed Leucaena...

Alley cropping trials were conducted on different parts (top, middle and base) of a sloping land to compare the effects of inoculation with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi on Senna siamea, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala and cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) intercrop on...

A significant proportion of wheat flour can be replaced by cassava flour in the making of bread with little changes in the quality of bread. This paper shows that it is possible to make bread without using wheat flour. Soybean flour can also be mixed with cassava flour to increase the protein con...
La mouche blanche (Bemisia tabaci) est le vecteur de la mosaïque et de la striure brune du manioc. Sa population a toujours été faible dans les champs de manioc. En plus, cet insecte trés polyphage, n'avait jamais constitué d'une manière directe, une menace réelle à la culture du manioc en Afriqu...

For quite some time, cassava breeding activities of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Uganda were mainly focused on developing genotypes resistant to cassava mosaic disease (CMD), which was the major biotic production constraint since the early 1990s. Although cassava ...
