Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), a” miracle of the tropics,” is a critical
component of the approaches to alleviate poverty, hunger, and malnutrition and increase …

Premise of the Study The key to increased cassava production is balancing the trade‐off
between marketable roots and traits that drive nutrient and water uptake. However, only a …

Leaf carbon isotope composition (δ 13 C) is a promising trait for assessing genotypic
differences in responses to environmental stress, particularly drought. Despite its potential …

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important root crop, which despite its drought
tolerance suffers considerable yield losses under water deficit. One strategy to increase crop …

Recent studies have used carbon isotope discrimination (△) to investigate crop water use
efficiency in drought environments. The main objective of this study was to accurately …

Cassava is a tropical storage root crop, a source of carbohydrate and alternative energy. It
has been classified as “drought tolerant plant” for the whole life cycle, except during the root …

Cassava farmers from three production districts in Northern and Savannah Regions were
sampled for their perceptions on drought, production constraints and preferences for new …

Cassava root yield under diverse environments is influenced by morpho‐physiological traits
that are in turn influenced by genotype, environment, and genotype× environment …

This study was planned to assess the morpho-physiological response of cassava varieties
under well-watered and water-deficit stress conditions along with the exploration of potential …

Cassava is an important root crop in sub-Saharan Africa and is a crop of choice for resource-
poor farmers in savannah areas, where its production faces dry spells at certain periods of …
