Genetic variations in cassava at Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia

Abstract

Relatively large phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation were observed for harvest index, storage root yield per plant, above ground biomass, number of branches and number of nodes of 36 germplasm accessions of cassava. There is a considerable amount of genetic variability for most of the characters of interest in cassava. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
