Displaying 816 - 820 of 958World and Asian markets for cassava products
This analysis of global and Asian markets looks at protectionism and substitution (decline in starch trade, rise in trade of cassava feedstuffs) and the Asian regional market for cassava feedstuffs. The degree of substitution between cassava and grains has increased measurably during the postwar period. Cassava's future in world markets depends on its ability to compete with grains; so far this has depended on grain pricing policies and tariff structures of importing countries, making cassava trade more vulnerable than the international grain trade.

General combining ability in 80 small-seeded cultivars of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) for seed yield and its components
Increase in yield potential of dry common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars has been either imperceptible or small and gradual, in spite of large variation of most traits, including seed yield. Therefore general combining ability (GCA) of 80 cultivars and lines was investigated. Eight sets of 10 entries each were used, with five parents each as females and males in a Design II mating system. The resulting 200 F2 populations, excluding parents, were evaluated in a replicates-in-sets design for yield and its components at two locations in Colombia.
