Se detallan evaluaciones de campo e invernadero en las que se examinaron: el efecto de diferentes rocas fosforicas (RF), la eficacia de la aplicacion de P, el tamano de los granulos y las relaciones RF: Superfosfato triple, asi como los efectos de las mezclas cogranuladas de RF con superfosfato…
The progress achieved by CIAT's cassava program through training activities related to the crop in Latin America, Asia, and Oceania are given. In collaboration with the training office at the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical, the cassava program in 1980 trained 38 professionals…

White mold, caused by the fungus Sclerotinia (Whetzelinia) sclerotiorum, is distributed worldwide and has more than 300 hosts. It infects flowers, cotyledons, seeds, leaves or injured plant tissue. The disease can be controlled by crop rotation, flooding, reduced seeding rates, application of…
Se describen ensayos destinados a reducir los costos del establecimiento de pasturas y a la observacion de la distribucion espacial de las especies asociadas. Se sembraron Andropogon gayanus, Desmodium ovalifolium, Stylosanthes capitata y Pueraria phaseoloides en una sabana madura o…
En ensayos de campo efectuados en 1977-79 en CIAT-Quilichao, se establecieron al finalizar 1977, a) 5 especies de gramineas altas y espesas, b) 6 especies de gramineas estolonifgeras semi-erectas, c) 6 especies de gramineas de escasa doiseminacion, d) 6 especies de leguminosas rastreras, e) 6…
Efforts to develop cassava technology for the vast areas of acid infertile soils were continued Large-scale germplasm screening in the field was begun in Carimagua for tolerance to low levels of P and acidity and in Quilichao, for tolerance to low levels of P. Various fertilizer trials were used…
Research of the physiology section was centered on identifying the characters associated with high root yields and quality in cassava under stress conditions. Plant reaction to water stress was studied, specifically regarding growth and yields of var. M Mex 59 and M Col 22 with a period of…
