Summary

High yield in the tapioca varieties studied appears to be associated with sink activity of the tubers and consequently with crop index. Growth measurements indicate that assimilation is significantly affected by sink activity as well as by the functioning of the assimilation apparatus. The form of the crop growth curve, and the effect of spacing on yield and distribution of dry matter are also considered.
