Breeding sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.) for drought tolerance in Kenya.
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is an important food crop in East Africa including Kenya. The crop incurs high yield losses in production due to biotic (insect pests and diseases) and abiotic (drought, and heat) constraints. Among abiotic constraints, drought is the most important.
