Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is crucial for both
food security and poverty alleviation in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
Cassava improvement for SSA started at the International Institute of Tropical
Agriculture in 1970, and several improved lines with different characteristics
have been develop...

Genetic gains from 30 years of cassava breeding in Nigeria for storage root yield and disease resistance in elite cassava genotypes
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is the most-important disease of cassava (Manihot esculenta) in Africa, and is a potential threat to Latin American (LA) cassava production. Although this viral disease is still unknown in LA, its vector – the whitefly – has recently been found. The disease is best co...

Twenty-two cassava genotypes and eight controls were evaluated in two cropping
seasons for resistance to cassava mosaic disease (CMD) at the International Institute
of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) fields, located at different ecozones of Nigeria. Disease
incidence (DI) and index of symptom severit...

Thirteen cassava genotypes were evaluated at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Ibadan, Nigeria for anthracnose (CAD), bacterial blight (CBB) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD) incidence and severity, and their effects on yield, for three consecutive planting seasons. There were s...
