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...
Feasible overall goals for cassava breeding in Asia are proposed on the basis of current national cassava breeding programs, achievements, and cassava demand in the following Asian Countries: Thailand, Philippines, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and Vietnam. CIAT germplasm that has been selec...
Relative importance of harvest index (I) and total biomass yield (B) to economic yield (Y) was assessed in several food crops at different levels of environmental productivity. Importance of B is generally higher in low than high yielding environments, while that of I is higher in high than low y...

Harvest index and evolution of major food crop cultivars in the tropics
In Rayong, Thailand, a regional workshop was carried out with breeders and agronomists of the various cassava producing countries in southern Asia in an attempt to establish a cassava research network to increase cassava productivity in the region and improve the prevailing standard of living. Ad...
