Culinary quality is one of the most important and relevant parameters for the widespread adoption of the selected new plant cultivars. Although plant breeders usually develop new varieties that are high‐yielding and disease‐resistant in response to significantly high viral and parasitic pressures threatening food security, the organoleptic and sensory ...

Cassava mosaic geminiviruses associated with cassava mosaic disease in Rwanda
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

CASSAVA MOSAIC DISEASE: INCIDENCE AND YIELD PERFORMANCE OF CASSAVA CULTIVARS IN ZAMBIA
Cassava is the main food crop for an estimated 30% of the population in Zambia where yields of 5.8 t/ha are some of the lowest of any major cassava-producing country. A study was conducted to characterize yield responses of Zambian cassava genotypes to cassava mosaic disease (CMD), as well as the relative susceptibilities to the causal viruses.

Evaluation of Cassava Genotypes for Resistance to Cassava Mosaic Disease and Agronomic Traits
Sixteen cassava genotypes comprising introductions, local landraces and improved genotypes were evaluated for two seasons in Mansa, Zambia, for their reaction to cassava mosaic disease (CMD). The study was conducted in 2009/10 and 2010/11 seasons to evaluate the reaction of cassava cultivars to CMD and agronomic traits.

Towards understanding factors that govern fertilizer response in casave: lessons from East Africa
Information on fertilizer response in cassava in Africa is scarce. We conducted a series of on-farm and on-station trials in two consecutive years to quantify yield responses of cassava to mineral fertilizer in Kenya and Uganda and to evaluate factors ...
