The average yield of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) in Brazil is below the crop potential, and appropriate cultural practices more productive cultivars are needed to improve yield. Beauregard cultivar, originally from United States, has shown high potential. This study evaluated performance features agronomic importance cultivar comparison local eight sweet-potato clones Brazilian regions. For that purpose, two sets experiments were carried out. first set Beauregard, Olho Roxo...
Twenty six sweet cassava clones were evaluated in two agricultural years, randomized block design, with 3 replications and plots 25 plants. The harvests at 12 months after planting, both years. traits root yield (RY), dry matter content (DMC), total carotenoids (TC), β-carotene (BC), trans-β-carotene (TrBC) cyanide (TCy). Genotype was significant (P<0.05) all traits. Broad-sense heritability estimates the plot level (hmg2 ) ranged from 77% (RY) to 93% (TC TrBC), while accuracy 0.88 0.96 (BC...
The number of registered sweetpotato cultivars in Brazil is limited and they are mostly white-fleshed (Ministry Agriculture, Livestock Food Supply, 2021). ‘CIP BRS Nuti’ (CIP 106902.1) (Ipomoea batatas) was developed by the International Potato Center (CIP) Peru controlled crossing between elite orange flesh (OFSP) clone (CIP101048.1) advanced OFSP (CIP194583.2). This will be released Embrapa as a cultivar for Brazil, after being selected from among 80 clones imported CIP. an with mean...
