Stability, agronomic performance and genetic variability of 10 cassava genotypes in Ghana por Peprah, B.B., Agyeman, A., Parkes, Elizabeth Y., Kwadwo, O., Isaac, A.K., Okogbenin, Emmanuel, Labuschagne, Maryke T.

“…Genetic enhancement of cassava aimed at increasing productivity through the provision of broad-based which improved germplasm and is also a major goal for cassava breeders. 10 genotypes (4 landraces and 6 developed lines) were evaluated at Fumesua, Ejura and Pokuase in 2 growing seasons in a randomized complete block design in 3 replicates to determine variability among genotypes for fresh root yield (FRY), root number (RTN), plant stands harvested (PSH), top weight (TW), harvest index (HI) and dry matter content (DMC) and their adaptation to different environments. …”

Shade canopy density variables in cocoa and coffee agroforestry systems por Somarriba, Eduardo, Saj, Stephane, Orozco‑Aguilar, Luis, Somarriba, Aurelio, Rapidel, Bruno

“…The use of these SCDV has two important limitations: (1) different combinations of values of the three SCDV variables generate very different shade tree stands (hence very different shading levels), and (2) Additional factors modify shading under shade canopies with constant SCDV values.This article uses the software ShadeMotion (www.shade motion. net) to show how 24 different, simple, even-sized, mono-layered, Cordia alliodora shade canopies with constant N, G and %Cov display significantly different shade levels and temporal patterns of shading depending on tree stem and crown diameter ratios, tree height, spatial planting configurations (square, random and alleys) and leaf fall patterns. …”
