Physiological and Agronomic Characterisation of Six Cassava Clones (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

To evaluate the behaviour of cassava clones (Manihot esculenta Crantz), the physiological quality of the propagation material was assessed, and an agronomic characterisation was conducted; this was essential for the generation of information on the clones’ productive potential. The trial was conduct...

The agronomic characteristics evaluated were plant height, stem diameter and yield. The Morocha clone had the highest percentage of viable stakes and normal seedlings, i.e. 80.95% and 73.81%, respectively.
