Abstract
SUMMARY The response of cassava to CCC was investigated by applying concentrations of 0, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 ppm twice or four times as a foliar spray, which resulted in a significantly greater tuber yield than the control with most marked effects at the final harvest. CCC at 1500 ppm, applied four times at various growth stages, gave the best increase in tuber yield. Application of CCC tended to cause greater RGR and dry matter content (percentage) of tubers.
