“…In communities that do not have access to borehole water, other sources like wells often do not provide enough water during the dry season and the water is difficult to fetch and bring up. This finding is in tandem with Akinnagbe [56] asserting that increased cost of transporting harvested tubers to processing centers as well as erratic climatic patterns seem to have affected optimal utilization of cassava. Processing activities with less improved/mechanized processing equipment might seem unorganized to men thereby affecting their participation.…”

This study identified gender-based constraints affecting the production, processing and marketing of biofortified cassava in two states in Nigeria, using a mixed methods approach. The study identified major differences between the two study sites (Benue and Oyo). The scale of production of biofortified cassava is higher in Oyo state among adult men because of their active involvement and collaboration with research institutes within the state and the ease of transporting products to Lagos State for designated diverse markets. However, in Benue state more adult and young women are engaged in cultivation, processing and marketing business to meet up with the increased demand due to higher consumer acceptance in this region. Gender analysis revealed that lack of access to hired-labour restricted the scale of production among women in especially Oyo state. Low product price and high price of processing equipment, poor market infrastructure and middle men exploitation were constraints significantly more mentioned by women in general. Majorly, the men identified limited processing facilities/equipment as the most important constraint affecting the demand of biofortified cassava roots, while generally women were more constrained by the shortage of basic amenities and trainings that hindered their processing efficiency. The study proposes integration of gender-responsive strategies to further enhance the delivery of biofortified cassava products in Nigeria.

This research entitled Maintaining Growth of Cassava Leaves (Manihot esculenta Cranzt) through Mulching, Types of Cultivars, and Buds Cutting Intervals. The experiment was carried out in Balesari Village, Windusari District, Magelang Regency within six months. The aim is to study the growth patterns of cassava leaf shoots and to collect factual practice about the cultivation of cassava leaf which was not yet widely available. A faktorial experiment (2x2x3) which was repeated three times in a completely randomized design. This experiment tested the use of black silver plastic mulch, two cassava Rengganis cultivars, and Indung, with three levels of bud cutting intervals 45, 50 and 55 days after planting. Each treatment was repplicated three times. The results of this experiment indicate that the growth of shoots, namely the weight and length of buds formed is strongly influenced by the type of mulch, cultivar and shoot cutting intervals. Shoot shoots that grow with plastic mulch are better and shoot cutting intervals can also improve shoot shoots. While shoot lengths that grow on Rengganis cultivars are longer than Indung cultivars, there are interactions betweenplastic mulch, cultivars and cutting intervals.

“…La culture du manioc en milieu paysan est souvent faite en association avec d'autres cultures notamment les céréales et les légumineuses (Eke-Okoro et al, 2010), qui influenceraient le rendement si les bonnes combinaisons ne sont pas faites. Il est donc évident que la performance variétale est non seulement intrinsèque (information génétique de la variété) mais aussi liée aux facteurs extrinsèques tels que : le mode de gestion de l'espace et la fertilité du sol (Sopheap et al, 2012 ;Salami et Sangoyomi, 2013), les dates de plantation et de récoltes (Agbaje et Akinlosotu, 2004 ;Moundzeo et al, 2012), l'influence des fertilisants (Agbaje et Akinlosotu, 2004 ;Asare et al, 2009 ;Fernont et al, 2010), les facteurs institutionnels, techniques et financiers (Akinnagbe, 2010), le stress hydro-climatique, le stress par cueillette des feuilles etc.…”

L’étude a été menée dans l’objectif d’évaluer la production de trois variétés améliorées de manioc en réponse à la récolte des feuilles et aux fertilisants NPK, compost et Compost-NPK. L’essai a été fait selon le dispositif en split-split plot, à blocs aléatoires complets à trois facteurs et trois réplications. Les récoltes ont été réalisées à 3 mois et 5 mois après la plantation. La récolte finale a été faite à 12 Mois Après la Plantation (MAP). Le résultat montre qu’une différence non significative (p>0,05) a été observée entre les variétés et entre les traitements fertilisants du rendement en feuilles sèches total. La moyenne totale du rendement en feuilles sèches s'élève à 1454,19 kg/ha au niveau du contrôle. Et ce rendement augmente en moyenne de 10,42% en présence du compost, 39,91% quand le mélange Compost-NPK a été appliqué et de 34, 19% en présence de NPK. Le rendement racinaire varie significativement (p˂0,05) en fonction des variétés et traitement de récolte des feuilles. La perte moyenne de rendement sec due à la récolte des feuilles est de 3,86 t/ha soit 45,77%. La perte du rendement racinaire sec a été compensée en moyenne de 35,59% soit 1,64 t/ha par le mélange Compost-NPK, et 24,05% soit 1,11 t/ha quand le NPK a été appliquée. Parmi les variétés, deux répondent aux fertilisants et sont capables de compenser les pertes. L’IITA-TMS-IBA071393 serait un bon candidat pour les petits exploitants dépourvus de moyen d’intrant.Mots clés : Génotypes de manioc, cueillette des feuilles, engrais organo-minéral, rendement, effet compensatoire. English Title: Leaf and roots yields responses of three improved cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) varieties to organo-mineral fertilizers and leaf harvest in the South-West NigeriaThis study was carried out to investigate the leaf and root yield response to leaf harvest and the application of NPK fertilizer, compost and the combination of NPK plus compost of three improved cassava varieties. The experiment was a complete randomised split-split plot design with three factors and three replications. Leaf harvest was at 3 months and 5 months after planting (MAP). The final root harvest was at 12 MAP. The leaf dry matter yield was not significantly (p> 0.05) different between varieties and fertilizer treatments. The average leaf yield was 1454.19 kg/ha DM in control. Leaf yield increased by 10.42% when compost was applied, by 39.91% when compost plus NPK was applied and by 34.19% when only NPK was applied. Root yield was significantly (p˂0.05) affected by cassava variety and leaf harvest. Average root DM yield losses were 3.86 t/ha (45.77%) when leaves were harvested. Root DM yield loss was compensated to 35.59% (1.64 t/ha) when compost plus NPK fertilizer was applied and 24.05% (1.11 t/ha) when NPK was applied. Two varieties responded positively to fertilisers and were able to compensate for root yield losses. IITA-TMS-IBA071393 appears a suitable candidate for cassava farmers with small income because it did not require inputs. Keywords: Cassava genotypes, leaves harvesting, organo-mineral input, yield, compensation effect.
