In Guinea-Bissau, the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) plays an important socioeconomic role and contributes to household food security. To determine the conditions favorable to this crop, relationships were established between production on the one hand and climatic and agronomic conditions on the other. The results showed that the end date of the rainy season and the cumulative rainfall of the preceding months are strongly correlated with cashew nut yield. Indeed, late-season rains allow for the accumulation of water in the soil, which is favorable for the cashew tree's reproductive development during the dry season. These results are of paramount importance for monitoring and forecasting cashew production. Planting density and age also play a very important role in cashew yield and quality, which decrease as planting density increases. Hence the need to educate cashew producers on optimal planting density for improved productivity.

Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints
<i> <p>Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints</i> presents key insights into accelerating the breeding of sustainable and superior varieties. </p> <p>The book explores the genetic engineering/biotechnology that has played a vital role in transforming economically important traits from distant/wild species to cultivated varieties, enhancing the quality and quantity of oil and seed yield production. Integrated nutrient management, efficient water management, and forecasting models for pests diseases outbreaks and integrated pest and pest management have also added new dimensions in breeding for sustainable production. With the rise in demand, the scientific community has responded positively by directing a greater amount of research towards sustainable production both for edible and industrial uses. </p> <p>Covering the latest information on various major world oil crops including rapeseed mustard, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, oilpalm, cotton, linseed/flax, castor and olive, this book brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students. </p>
