Summary

The relation between source potentials and sink capacities of four cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) varieties with different characteristics was investigated by means of reciprocal grafts. There were marked differences in the sink capacities (average stock effects) and source potentials (average scion effects) of the varieties.
