CASSAVA
Cassava (mahinot esculenta crantz.) is the most important root crop in the tropics and ranks fourth after rice, wheat and corn as calorie source for human consumption. in the philipines it is utilized as food, feed, alcohol and the emerging bio fuel industry.
In support to country`s cassava industry,philrootcrops undertakes a continuing crop improvement program to develop[ new and improved varieties. There are 46 yielding varieties recommended for cultivation.
The demand for cassava in the country is not met. This is mainly due to the lack of planting materials of high yielding varieties and the lack of capability to mass propagates because of slow and limited distribution of planting materials.
Traditionally, cassava is propagated vegetatively using 15-30 cm cassava takes with 7-8 viable nodes. multiplication rate is 1:10;one stem cutting will yield 10 planting materials after 10-12 months. Rapid propagation techniques are already available. It is essential to develop skills and capability for the mass propagation of cassava in order to sustain the supply of HYVs planting material for industry. This brochure will show the rapid propagation techniques and production of clean planting material for cassava.
