In recent years, cassava agronomy research in China has emphasized soil fertility maintenance, erosion control, planting methods and date of planting and harvesting. The research was conducted in cooperation between the Guangxi Subtropical Crops Research Institute, the South China Academy of Trop...

Recent progress in cassava agronomy research in China
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 ...
In China, cassava is planted mainly in the southern provinces of Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan and Yunnan. The annual total area and production is about 400,000 ha and 6,000,000 tonnes of fresh roots, respectively. Guangxi is the main cassava producing province with more than 60% of both cassava gro...

Cassava agronomy research in China
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...
