Dual-purpose sweetpotato is gaining recognition as a food and fodder crop. The quality of the vines depends on several factors including genotype and environment. Cutting vines before root harvest can increase yields and fodder quality of vines. But, the effect on root quality has not been sufficiently investigated. This study was conducted to determine the effects of agro-ecology (n = 3), genotype (n = 7) and vines cuts (n = 3) on chemical composition and Metabolizable (ME) energy concentrations in vines and on farmers' preference of the roots.
Sweet potato is an ideal crop for densely populated areas because it enables farmers to produce food and fodder concurrently on the same piece of land. But, the use of the technology in sub-Saharan Africa is sporadic because dual purpose sweet potato varieties and knowledge of vine harvesting without compromising root yields are rare..
