About this book

Cassava is a root crop that adapts well to a wide range of environments. A key factor for grower decisions regarding when to plant cassava is whether a profit can be expected from the crop; increasingly, only cassava growers with high productivity can survive in the volatile price environment. This chapter reviews the strategies and factors for success in cassava breeding for higher yield, including the importance of genetic diversity and breeding schemes. There is a particular focus on Thailand, which has hosted some of the most successful breeding programmes involved in improving cassava varieties over a period of more than 40 years.
