Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) crop is widely known adapt to variable drought conditions. Due to the lack of adapted and high-yielding cultivars tolerant to the prevalent biotic and abiotic stresses, cassava is yet to find a wide and appropriate niche in the farming systems of the African dry...
