Abstract:
The objective of this study was for development of cassava transporting equipment installed on a truck. The study process was divided into 2 steps: 1) The study of cassava harvesting and transporting to the truck pattern by farmers practice today and 2) preliminary study of transporting cassava by using additional conveying device in order to reduce time and labor for the overall harvest system. Results in step 1 indicated that the pattern of cassava harvesting consisted of four main steps : tillage, heap compiling, stem cutting and cassava transporting to the truck. The most time consuming step was the transporting of cassava to the truck. The cassavas transporting to the plant normally had to be completed within one day. The consequently, cassava transporting was considered to be the bottle-neck problem of cassava harvest system. Result from the study in step 2, which was preliminary study of using a conveying device attached to the truck to reduce time and labor indicated that a working capacity of 1.44 rai/hour was obtained, being 3.13 time higher than the usual manual labor method.

Abstract:
Abstract Cassava and sweet potato are the main commodity plants in Seloliman. So far, the farmer there directly sell it after harvesting process. However, in case the sales are not much and many quantities of cassava or sweet potato remains, it become tainted which can reduce its quality or ever become waste. Less of knowledge about post harvesting process of that plant makes people less concerned about the potential of its processed product. With the knowledge sharing and workshop of cassava and sweet potato post harvesting process, the society will have insight and knowledge how to process their excess cassava become more valuable food products. Other utilization of healthy fermented drink from microbe symbiont like kefir and kombucha, which use the local flowers or fruits, can be done to boost the local beverage products in Seloliman. Both ways can be one of the steps to empower the Seloliman society to brand their unique products in the future.Keywords: cassava, post-harvest, healthy fermented drink, kefir, kombucha

Abstract:
Agricultural year and harvesting season may interfere with yield and post-harvest performance of table cassava cultivars, with consequences for their commercialization and net profit. The objective of this work was to quantify the effects of harvesting season and agricultural year on yield performance of table cassava cultivars and their correlations. Planting was carried out in September in two consecutive years near Londrina city, PR, in a Clay-textured Oxisols red eutrophric. The experiment followed a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications, consisting of seven harvesting times (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 months after planting) for each agricultural year. The table cassava cultivars used were: Catarina Amarela, Catarina Branca, Mato Grosso, Pretona, IAPAR 19-Pioneira and IAC 576-70. The following agronomic characteristics were evaluated: number of roots per plant, length, diameter and yield of tuberous roots, as well as the following post-harvest characteristics: net yield and peeling time per kg of each cassava genotype. The cultivars, harvesting time and agricultural year affected the yield and post-harvest characteristics. ‘IAPAR 19-Pioneira’ presented a larger number of roots per plant (9.9) and peeling time (224.8 seconds.kg-1), but lower yield % (66.2%) and diameter of tuberous roots (4.0 cm), regardless of harvest time and year of planting. 'Catarina Amarela', 'Catarina Branca', 'IAC 576-70' and 'Pretona' provided higher yields, diameters and reduced peeling times. The root mean diameter is one of the characteristics that can be used as a selection criterion in a table cassava genetic breeding program: the larger the root mean diameter the larger are tuber root yield and percentage of weight of the tradable part of the roots, and the lower is the time of peeling.

Abstract:
<p>Cassava has been identified as Africa’s second most important staple food after maize, in terms of calories consumed, with Nigeria as the World leading producer. This study estimated postharvest loss of cassava along the cassava value chain in Kwara State. It estimated the size of postharvest loss of cassava; analysed the factors responsible and the financial implications of loss; and identified the strategies employed in the mitigation of loss in the study area. A three-stage random sampling technique was used to select 117 cassava farmers whom were administered structured questionnaire to elicit data analysed by the study. Descriptive statistics, Shannon’s diversity index and Tobit regression model were the analytical techniques utilised. The results show that 68 % of the loss occurred at the harvesting. The loss was estimated to be about 3.8 t ha<sup>-1</sup>. The financial implication was valued at $ 300 ha<sup>-1</sup>. Analysis of the factors responsible for cassava postharvest loss showed that the quantity expected at harvesting, household size and age of the farmer were significant factors affecting cassava postharvest loss. The result also revealed that farmers mitigate these losses by processing the roots and reburying unused roots into the soil. Steps needed to reduce loss have to take these factors into consideration to improve the economic status of cassava farmers-processors.</p>

Abstract:
Most of cassava grown in Palas, South Lampung District is sweet type cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) utilized as raw materials for cassava-based snack production. However, their characteristic had never been reported. The aims of the research were to determine the effect of varieties, harvesting age, and interaction between varieties and the harvesting age on morphology and chemical characteristics of sweet type cassava planted in Palas District, South Lampung. The experiment was factorial and arranged in a Complete Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with two factors and four replications. The first factor was cassava variety, i.e., manalagi (V1), mentega (V2), and krembi (V3). The second factor was the harvest age (U) i.e., 7-8 months (U1) and 8-9 months (U2). Morphology data were reported descriptively, while data for other characteristics were tested for homogeneity and additivity using Barlett and Tuckey test, then subjected to ANOVA, and further tested using Duncan test at the level of 5%. The results showed that the variety and harvest age significantly affected of water content, starch yield, starch content, amylose, and amylopectin. There was a significant interaction between varieties and age of harvest on moisture content, starch yield, and starch content, but there was no significant interaction effect on amylose and amylopectin. The highest value of moisture content was found in manalagi aged at 7-8 months (67.28% wb), the highest value of starch yield was found in manalagi age at 8-9 months of (16.34%), the highest value of starch content was found in mentega aged at 8-9 of months (17.52 % wb), the highest value of amylose was found in mentega aged at 8-9 of month (10.35% db), the highest value of amylopectin was found in krembi aged at 7-8 of month (92.78% db). Overall, krembi, manalagi, and mentega can be categorized as low-amylose cassava which has potential to be developed as raw material for crispy cassava-based snack.

Abstract:
The household head characteristics of smallholder cassava farmers supplying raw materials to the major commercial starch processors in Nigeria were examined alongside their market participation categories. A multi-stage random sampling technique was used to select 96 farmers working in clusters in the eight cassava producing states. Data were analyzed using a combination of descriptive and inferential statistics, including the use of independent sample t-test technique to compare farmer's characteristics for the farmers' market participation categories. Results revealed that majority of the farmers were farming for subsistence with only 19.80% selling up to 50% of their farm produce as against 80.20% who sold less. Average mean values were found to be higher for the high market participants compared with the low participants for the age, farming experiences, education, farm size, gender, marital status, household size, training, season of harvesting and fertilizer use, but lower for use of credit, improved cassava variety, harvesting method, farming time devotion, and road access. Only farm size, gender and harvesting season at p<0.01 level and training at p<0.05 level were found to be statistically significant in distinguishing the high and low market participation categories. Policies and programmes aimed at promoting market participation among cassava farmers in Nigeria should be more impactful if directed at these significant factors.Int. J. Agril. Res.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) production is the eighth most important among Brazil’s main agricultural crops. Throughout the past decade, this country has alternated between being the second and the fourth-largest producer of this product worldwide. In terms of regional production, cassava holds first place in Amazonas State, being the most important for the local economy while simultaneously constituting both income and food for small producers. Nevertheless, cassava harvesting has been shown to need investments with respect to the technologies applied to the extraction of these root tubers, since very primitive tools are still being used. These, alongside resulting in low productivity, are generating ergonomic difficulties for the workers thar are responsible for 58% of nacional production and 93% if considered production in North of Brazil only. The main objective of this study, therefore, is to propose improvements for the process of extracting cassava root tubers for family-based agriculture. For this purpose, it was promoted sample selection and identification activities; collected data related to cassava production; assessed the main difficulties related to cassava harvesting; determined priorities; and made a proposal for improving the family-based cassava production process. The data was collected in several communities in Amazonas State. The outcome obtained allowed a greater technological insertion in the family-based agricultural process, so that the proposed process improved productivity in obtaining cassava roots extraction. In addition, it was possible to gather important information on the type of soil preferred for planting, tools used in the processes, criteria to establish the planting, identification of critical processes, acceptable cost to purchase tools for planting cassava in family-based agriculture in communities in Amazonas’ state.
O cultivo de mandioca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) constitui a oitava parcela mais importante dentre os principais produtos agrícolas do Brasil. Na última década, o país destacou-se por variar entre o segundo e quarto maior produtor mundial. Em termos de produção regional, no estado do Amazonas, a mandioca ocupa a primeira posição, sendo um dos produtos mais importantes tanto para a economia regional quanto para a constituição de renda e alimento de pequenos produtores. Contudo, para os pequenos produtores responsáveis por 58% da produção no cenário nacional e 93% da produção na região Norte, a colheita de mandioca, demonstra precisar de investimentos quanto às tecnologias aplicadas à extração de suas raízes, pois ainda são utilizadas ferramentas rudimentares que, além de proporcionarem baixa produtividade, geram problemas ergonômicos aos trabalhadores. Deste modo, este trabalho objetiva propor melhoria para o processo de obtenção de raízes de mandioca na agricultura familiar. Para tanto, foram realizadas atividades de seleção e identificação de amostras; coleta de dados sobre o cultivo da mandioca; avaliação das principais dificuldades relacionadas à produção de mandioca; e, por fim, foi proposta melhoria ao processo produtivo da mandioca na agricultura familiar. Os dados foram levantados junto a algumas comunidades do estado do Amazonas. Os resultados obtidos possibilitaram uma maior inserção tecnológica na agricultura familiar, de forma que o processo proposto melhorou a produtividade na obtenção das raízes de mandioca. Além disto, foi possível reunir informações importantes quanto à tipologia de solo preferida para o plantio, ferramentas usadas nos processos, critérios para estabelecer o plantio, identificação dos processos críticos, custo aceitável para compra de ferramentas voltadas ao plantio de mandioca na agricultura familiar, em comunidades no estado do Amazonas.

Abstract:
The increasing world population over few decades has led to increase in demand of food grains or agricultural commodities, thus possessing great impact on food security. Conventional farming approaches has been traditionally practiced but a lot of effort is required to make to enhance agricultural production. With changing climatic conditions plants are vulnerable to several stress factors. In order to combat such conditions, the agricultural systems are needed to be contemporary with advance and recent technologies. Crops after harvest are liable to a lot of changes which ultimately affect quality and quantity of produce, thus reducing economic value. Postharvest losses are decisive factors in reducing loss of produce and agricultural commodities. Thus in order to achieve maximum production, it is therefore essential to reduce postharvest losses and ensures proper management of postharvest products. Postharvest physiology is the science which deals with quantitative and qualitative study of physiology of agricultural products after harvesting. Biotechnological and transgenic approaches are the recent and emerging technologies that possess great impact on agricultural production. Transgenic technology like genome editing, CRISPR/Cas9, TILLING are successfully used in various species to enhance production, possess resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses, enhance shelf life and improve nutritional quality. Transgenic crops or Genetically modified crops (GMO) like tomato, brinjal, soybean, cassava etc are cultivated globally. These techniques therefore are promising means in establishing food security, increasing crop production, reducing postharvest losses, production of secondary metabolites, hormones and plantibodies.

It was discovered from the findings that majority of the farmers were illiterate of the middle aged group between 31-40. The farmers plant many crops, but it is noticeable that the farmers plant cassava mostly, the area which the farmers indicated they need information most is on agriculture, it was also observed that the farmers access information from colleagues (co-farmers), friends and relatives, agricultural extension workers. The information needs of the farmers in this study on agriculture includes how to prevent diseases for their crops on the farm and after harvesting, the farmers also stated that they need information on how to seek for loan, where to get the best market to sell their farm produce and how to get the best agro-chemical for effective use. In this study it was discovered that the challenges the farmers face in acquiring information includes, the inability to read and write in English language, lack of constant electricity supply, conflict among members of various associations and lack of access to agricultural extension workers. It is recommended that the farmers should be given effective adult education, provision of information centre with necessary personnel and information media to boost information accessibility. Also the government was encouraged to negotiate with mobile telecommunication operators to subsidize services so that the farmers who form majority in the rural areas can access information and communicate easily through their mobile phones.

"of control. The state of Queensland has generous expertise in this area, with the CSIRO Division of Entomology – Lands Department group in Brisbane boasting spectacular success against Salvinia and Eichhornia, and near the reservoir at James Cook University a USDA unit was involved in successes with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) (see Chapter 12) using a range of stem-boring and leaf-mining insects (Balciunas et al. 1993). One might consider the herbivorous grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella, originally from China, more as a harvester than a biological control agent. This fish grazes on submerged weeds such as Hydrilla, Myriophyllum, Chara, Potamogeton and Ceratophyllum, and at stocking rates of 75 fish/ha control is rapidly achieved. Some introductions in the USA have resulted in removal of all vegetation (Leslie et al. 1987), and in the Australian context the use of sterile (triploid) fish (Cassani and Canton 1985) could be the only consideration. However, in view of the damage already done by grass carp to some inland waterways in Australia, it is suspected that this option would be greeted with horror. Mechanical control involves the physical removal of weeds from a problem area and is useful in situations where the use of herbicides is not practical or poses risks to human health or the environment. Mobile harvesters sever, lift and carry plants to the shore. Most are intended for harvesting submerged plants, though some have been designed or adapted to harvest floating plants. Handling the harvested weed is a problem because of their enormous water content, therefore choppers are often incorporated into harvesting machinery design. However, many mechanical harvesters have a small capacity and the process of disposing of harvested plant material is time-consuming. Any material that remains may affect water quality during the decay process by depleting the water of oxygen. Furthermore, nutrients released by decay may cause algal blooms (Mitchell 1978). Another disadvantage of mechanical removal is that disturbance often promotes rapid new growth and germination of seed, and encourages the spread of weed by fragmentation. Some direct uses of macrophytes include the following: livestock food; protein extraction; manufacture of yeast; production of alcohol and other by-products; the formation of composts, mulches and fertilizers; and use for methane generation (Williams 1977). Herbicides either kill on contact, or after translocation through the plant. Some are residual and retain their toxicity for a period of time. Where herbicides are used for control of plants, some contamination of the water is inevitable (Bill 1977). The degree of contamination depends on the toxicity of the material, its fate and persistence in the water, the concentration used and the main purpose served by the water. After chemical defoliation of aquatic vegetation, the masses of decaying organic debris produced can interfere with fish production. Several factors must be taken into account when selecting and adapting herbicides for aquatic purposes, including: type of water use; toxicity of the herbicide to humans, fish, stock, and wildlife; rate of disappearance of residues, species affected and duration of control; concentration of herbicide; and cost (Bill 1977). The TVA has successfully used EPA-approved herbicides such as Endothall, Diquat, Fluridone and Komeen against Hydrilla (Burns et al. 1992), and a list of approved." In Water Resources, 153–54.
