On-farm evaluation of cassava clones using the triadic comparison of technology options approach por Nanyonjo, Ann Ritah, Angudubo, Stephen, Iragaba, Paula, Brown, David, Nuwamanya, Ephraim, Esuma, Williams, Ozimati, Alfred, Wembabazi, Enoch, Kanaabi, Michael, Muhumuza, Nicholas, Bayiyana, Irene, van Etten, Jacob, de Sousa, Kaue, Tufan, Hale, Kawuki, Robert Sezi

“…We sought to (1) synthesize on‐farm trial data from two cycles evaluating different sets of elite cassava clones; (2) assess the agronomic performance of elite cassava clones considering sociodemographic and climatic factors; and (3) assess the performance of elite cassava clones for both agronomic and food quality traits. The study involved 10 districts in Uganda, two cycles/seasons of evaluation, 20 elite cassava clones, one check variety, and 294 men and 320 women farmers. …”

Trends in genetic gain for yam in the IITA breeding program por Asfaw, A., Agre, A.P., Dieng, I., Adebola, P.O., Obidiegwu, J., Chamba, E., Darkwa, K., Otoo, E., Dansi, A., Dibi, K.E.B., Kouakou, A.M., Asiedu, R.

“…This implies that the yam breeding program needs to strike a balance between various traits, ensuring that increased yield does not come at a cost to food quality or disease resistance. Our results highlight the importance of continually monitoring and assessing the performance of a breeding program and making informed decisions about which traits to focus on for future improvement.…”

Genetic parameter estimates and selection gain for multiple traits in white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata) in Ghana por Darkwa, K., Adjei, E.A., Chamba, E.B., Sayibu, A., Amegbor, I.K., Agyapong, F.A., Sayibu, Z., Sayibu, I., Kangmennaang, M., Issifu, M., Agre, P.A., Adebola, P., Asfaw, A.

“…The genetic gain was, however, negative for tuber dry matter content compared to the check varieties, necessitating a modification of the current breeding scheme such that post-harvest food quality is not sacrificed for tuber yield. Ranking of the breeding lines based on the multi-trait selection index identified four lines (TDr1700004_014, TDr1700004_113, TDr1700001_112 and TDr1700002_090) with high genetic merits for all the economic traits. …”

Modelling fungal (Neozygites cf. floridana) epizootics in local populations of cassava green mites (Mononychellus tanajoa) por Oduor, G., Sabelis, M., Lingeman, R., Moraes , G.J. de, Yaninek, John S.

“…Only when the initial ratio of infectious to susceptible mites exceeds unity or the effective growth rate of the mite population is sufficiently reduced by other factors than the fungus (e.g. lower food quality of the host plant, dislodgement and death by rain and wind and predation), will the fungal pathogen be capable of decimating the cassava green mite population. …”
