Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Controlled-release fertilizer in two splits at planting and six months increased cassava root yield by 19.0% over no fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Normal fertilizer in four splits every two months increased cassava root yield by 22.7% over no fertilizer.
- Association Across fertilizer forms, more roots were associated with lower root yield.
- Association Root diameter was directly related to storage root yield.
- Association Root number was inversely related to root diameter.
- Association Root number was inversely related to root length.
- Observation Root attributes can be used to predict storage root yield.
- Recommendation Split fertilizer applications should be synchronized with moisture availability for optimal root yield.
