Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Applying nitrogen at planting increased cassava leaf area index, especially at greater rates.
- Intervention effect Two split applications of 90 kg N yielded good cassava yields compared with single or three split applications.
- Intervention effect Two split nitrogen applications gave the greatest cassava N-recovery efficiency in shoots.
- Intervention effect Two split nitrogen applications gave the greatest cassava N-recovery efficiency in roots.
- Association Cassava N efficiency was significantly negatively correlated with yield parameters.
- Recommendation The authors recommend two split applications of moderate fertilizer rates for cassava.
