TY - T1 - Potassium Fertigation With Deficit Irrigation Improves the Nutritive Quality of Cassava SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/321805 T3 - A1 - Wasonga, Daniel O.; Kleemola, Jouko; Alakukku, Laura; Mäkelä, Pirjo S. A. A2 - PB - Y1 - 2020 LA - eng AB - Water deficit limits cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) productivity in drought-prone areas and alters the nutritive quality of the crop. Potassium (K) may mitigate the effects of water deficit and improve the nutritional content of cassava, which would alleviate malnutrition among the human population in the tropics who depend on cassava as a staple food. Pot experiments were conducted under controlled glasshouse conditions to investigate the influence of deficit irrigation and K fertigation on...
