Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Cassava leaf stomatal density was about tenfold higher on the abaxial than adaxial surface.
- Observation Abaxial stomatal conductance of water ranged from 0.23 to 1.94 cm s-1.
- Observation Canopy photosynthesis differed significantly only in 1983 and ranged from 1.31 to 1.97 mg CO2 m-2s-1.
- Observation Single-leaf net photosynthetic rate ranged from 0.48 to 1.21 mg CO2 m-2 s-1.
- Observation The semi-forking genotype Senorita generally had higher harvest index than forking genotypes.
- Observation The semi-forking genotype M Ven 218 generally had higher harvest index than forking genotypes.
- Association Harvest index was significantly correlated with canopy photosynthesis in 1984 (r = 0.76).
- Association Harvest index was significantly correlated with storage root yield in 1984 (r = 0.92).
- Observation Cassava harvest index in the short subtropical season was similar to that in the tropics.
- Mechanism The authors attribute relatively high cassava productivity to high harvest index.
