The paper discusses the research progress mainly for the period of 1990-1993. There are three institutions, SCATC, UCRI and GSCRI, which are systematically working on cassava breeding in China. Since the principal constraint to cassava varietal improvement is the lack of genetic variability, the ...

Cassava agronomy research in China
During the past 16 years the Chinese Academy of Tropical and Agricultural Sciences (CATAS) has made good progress in developing improved cassava varieties for China. Several improved varieties have been released in south China, of which cv. SC124, with high yield and good cold resistance, is alre...
