Improved energy performance of small-scale pneumatic dryers used for cassava processing
This document describes an adjustment made to the feeding rate of a pneumatic dryer used to produce cassava flour in Ghana. The adjustment resulted in a significant improvement on the dryer’s energy performance. The work ...
Capacity building on dimensioning, design and operation of small-scale pneumatic dryers (2 - interim report September 2018)
The most suitable types of equipment available for drying cassava is a pneumatic dryer. State of-the-art industrial pneumatic dryers are available and are used to process cassava in many tropical countries. However, in ...
Doubled-haploids induction in cassava through CRISPR/Cas9
Application for Release of five cassava varieties in the Lowland Humid to Mid Altitude Sub Humid Agro-ecologies of Tanzania.
Sustainable rapid production of disease-free cassava planting material
To inject disease free planting material to the cassava growers and also for rapid dissemination of improved variety(s) CIAT cassava program has established practicable multiplication innovations in Laos and Cambodia during ...
Selecting Partial Inbred Clones and Exploring Heterosis in Cassava Report
CIAT started exploring the heterosis in cassava and made selfing of 23 clones, of which 20 clones have high dry matter, and three have high beta-carotene to determine the heterotic pattern, either identifying or creating ...
Cassava Waxing Technology Use, Marketing, Consumption and Actors' Roles along the Value Chain In Uganda (12660)
Increasing availability, utilization, and incomes from cassava production and marketing by increasing the period during which fresh roots can be marketed while retaining the desired quality
Multilocation Evaluation Trials In Uganda and Tanzania
These results report show that our breeding program is making very good progress in developing new varieties that are better than the currently grown popular officially released varieties. This will ensure that new varieties ...
Editing Cassava Sweet genes for Resistance to Xanthomonas Report
The sweet genes are transporters and a source of sucrose for plants, which during infection by bacteria such as Xanthomonas are over-expressed, making them an important factor in the infection and colonization of this type ...
Improved flower inducing technology for producing both hybrid and self-pollinated seeds
In 2021 we will assess the effect of different dosages of BA on the feminization of male flowers. This is important for producing hybrid or self-pollinated seeds.
Doubled Haploids for Faster and More Efficient Breeding in Cassava
To produce haploids the use of inducer lines increases the frequency of success. This is the most practical and fastest way to generate homozygous parental breeding lines to create true F1s where hybrid vigor can be clearly ...
