PRE-HARVEST FACTORS AFFECTING VASCULAR STREAKING AND QUALITY OF CASSAVA TUBERS
Keywords:
Cassava, Detopping, Vascular streaking, Starch, Dry matter, Rotting, Disease severityAbstract
Detopping of cassava plants at different degrees before harvest was under-taken to determine its effect on vascular streaking and quality during storage. Detopping the plants at 50-100% and stripping of all the leaves substantially delayed vascular streaking of the tubers during storage at ambient condition. However, it reduced the dry matter and starch contents of the tubers. A positive relationship was observed between severity of rotting and streaking but not between vascular streaking and percentage rotting.
