Measurement of Dry Matter and Starch in Modern Cassava Genotypes during Long Harvest Cycles

Measurement of Dry Matter and Starch in Modern Cassava Genotypes during Long Harvest Cycles

Starch (ST) is the main determinant of cassava root industrial quality and is routinely quantified using the specific gravity (SG) method, which is simple but lacks precision. This study aimed to estimate the dry matter (DM) and ST content in nine modern cassava genotypes using the SG method and to...
