There were many reports of shoot removal on yield of tuberous in cassava. However very little plant physiology research has been done to verify the cause of such yield reduction. The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of time of first hoot removal on the growth and development of cassava varieties. A field trial was established on a sandy soil at IITA, Nigeria.

Ha diversos resultados sobre a influencia negative da remocao dos rebentos no remindimento das raizes tuberosas da mandioca.noentanto,mutio pouco tem sido feito para verificar as causas dessas reduces no rendimento. O objective deste estudo foi ode investigar o effeito da epoca em que a primeira remocao do rebento e feita, no crescimento e desenvolvimento de duas variedades melhoradas de mandioca. Foi estabelecido um ensaio de campo em solos arenosos no IITA, Nigeria.

Il ya plusieurs rapports sur l'influence negative de la recolre desfeuiles sur le rendement en raciness tubereuses du manioc, pourtant, peu de recherché a ete effecruee sur la physiologie de la plante pour elucider la cause de chute de rendement. Les objectifs de cette etude etaient d'etudier les effets du temps de la premiere recolte de la partie sommitale de la tige sur la croissance et le developpement des varieties de manioc. Un essai etait etabli sur un sol sablonneux a I'TTA, Nigeria.
