The importance of appropriate genetic variability for plant breeding work in cassava is highlighted; genetic erosion has been slight and therefore efforts should be made to collect and maintain germplasm of both cultivated and wild species. It is necessary to carry out physiological studies aimin...
Se enfatiza la importancia de una variabilidad genetica apropiada para trabajos de fitomejoramiento en yuca; se piensa que la erosion genetica ha sido poca y, por tanto, se deben hacer esfuerzos de recolectar y mantener germoplasma de tanto especies cultivadas como silvestres.

High-yielding varieties, adapted to local conditions and satisfying local preferences, is one of the most important components of improved technologies. Since cassava is propagated vegetatively using farmers’ own planting material, the use of high-yielding varieties will give substantial economic...
