When developing breeding programs, it is necessary to take into account certain characteristics of the crop such as method of propagation (vegetative or sexual) and physiological factors affecting yield (i.e., the roots in cassava). Genetic improvement, as well as the specific breeding objectives...
Brief data are given on the origin and geographic distribution of cassava, uses and nutritional value. The importance of research efforts is pointed out. (CIAT)
Guidelines are provided to acquaint the personnel of national programs and other collaborators with the procedures to recover, propagate, and transplant culture materials after their arrival. These include: (1) recovery of the cultures by direct potting of cassava plants after short trips; 1 wk. ...

From July 1984 to June 1985, 13 new drying plants were established on the Atlantic Coast of Colombia for a total of 20 plants. During the 1984-85 campaign, these plants processed 7158 t fresh cassava (total of 3006 t dry cassava), representing an increase of 217 percent over the previous campaign...

THE METHOD USED TO SAMPLE THE MUNICIPALITIES FROM CASSAVA GROWING REGIONS IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT A CASSAVA PRODUCTION SURVEY IN BRAZIL IS DESCRIBED. IN STAGE 1, A MAP OF LATIN AMERICAN CASSAVA PRODUCTION WAS USED TO SELECT MAJOR ZONES OF INTEREST IN THE STATES OF PARA, MARANHAO, PERNAMBUCO, BAHIA,...
An analysis is made of the sociocultural, technical and economic implications in the transfer of technology, based on experiences acquired with cassava farmers from the community of Media Luna, located on the Atlantic Coast of Colombia. It is concluded that the technician must assimilate the life...
Activities of the collaborative project Integrated Rural Development Program (DRI)/Canadian International Development Agency- CIAT for the agroindustrial development of cassava on the Colombian Atlantic Coast are reported for the period July 1982-May 1983. Efforts concentrated on the expansion of...
