Adaptability and Stability Analyses of Root Yield and Micronutrient Concentrations in Sweetpotato (<i>Ipomoea batatas</i> [L.] Lam.) Genotypes. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
ABSTRACT High yielding and micronutrient dense sweetpotato cultivars could contribute to alleviating micronutrient deficiency, which is a prevalent problem in developing countries. Developing these improved cultivars involves selection across diverse environments, which requires an understanding of genotype × environment interaction (GEI).

Evaluation of Sweetpotato Cultivars for Resistance to Sweetpotato Weevil, 1997 [PDF]

Arthropod Management Tests, 1998
Abstract A test was conducted ir Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish, to determine the resistance of 5 cultivars and 3 breeding lines of sweetpotato to sweetpotato weevil. Single row plots consisting of 10 plants (10 ft. row length) were arranged in a CRB design with 6 replications. Slips were transplanted on July 2.
