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 ...
This paper describes the general situation and the existing problems of the extension of new cassava varieties, agronomic practices as well as processing technologies under the conditions of highly intensive agriculture in China.
Cassava has been cultivated in China for over 170 years. Its produc...

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...

Progress in cassava breeding at the Chinese Academy of Tropical and Agric. Sciences (CATAS)
Cassava varietal improvement in China has historically been conducted by collecting and evaluating local varieties, by introducing and testing of cassava germplasm from abroad, followed by the establishment of a cassava cross-breeding program. Considerable progresses has been made in the followin...
