Germplasm of priority was established in CIAT-Quilichao for seed increase and for observations on the most important plant descriptors (plant form, growth habit, flowering time, perennially, etc.). Germplasm adaptation to the Quilichao environment was assessed in terms of: yield potential on a ve...

Cassava Diseases Evaluation - Edaphoclimatic Zone 1: Lowland Tropics; Long drought; Low to Medium Precipitation
Cassava germplasm development at CIAT is centered on the development of improved gene pools for specific edapho-climatic zones with importance for cassava production. The most relevant ecosystems are the semi-and and sub-humid tropics, for which the majority of efforts are devoted. The main selec...
