Effect of Shoot Number and Time of Planting on Growth, Development and Yield of Cassaya (Manihot Esculenta Crantz)

摘要: SummaryRoot tuber yield, weight of individual tubers, root tuber/stem ratio at harvest, mean bulking rate, portion total dry matter diverted into the and net assimilation relative growth rates were greater in single-shoot than multi-shoot plants. Multi-shoot plants, however, had leaf area duration. Early planting encouraged production area, number per plant, size matter. Bulking rate was positively related to rate. In plants differences duration accounted for 95% variation yield between treatments, both single-and product 75% treatments.
