Successful innovations and lessons learnt in cassava improvement and deployment by IITA in Eastern African Region
For quite some time, cassava breeding activities of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Uganda were mainly focused on developing genotypes resistant to cassava mosaic disease (CMD), which was the major biotic production constraint since the early 1990s. Although cassava ...

Preliminary results of screening IITA improved germplasm for resistance to Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) in Uganda
Cassava is a key food security crop in sub-Saharan Africa, and is increasingly offering opportunities for income generation from the sale of fresh roots, cuttings and diverse processed products. The total fresh root production is increasingly constrained,
by the two principal biotic constraints; ...
