• FUTURE STRATEGY
• PRODUCTION
• Developing varieties/hybrids with tolerance
  for extremes of temperatures and drought
• Varieties with shorter duration to fit in the
  cropping systems
• Staggered planting
• Evaluation of germplasm
• Tapioca based inter/mixed cropping under
  various perennial crops
• Prolonging the storage of tubers beyond 24
  hours
• Recycling the effluent

39

• BIOTECHNOLOGY
• Intensive Research in CMD including
  identification of
• different strains, purification, serology and
  virus
• indexing using ELISA Technique
• DEVELOPING RESISTANT VARIETIES For CMD
• (virus), Tuber Rot (Phytopathra),CBB (bacteria),
• leaf fall disease (Fomopsis manihottis)
• Drought resistant/tolerant varieties/hybrids
• Varieties with little HCN
• Varieties with high Protein
• Varieties with storability for more than 25 days
• MICROPROPAGATION

ALLIANCES-CBN Alliances such as the
CASSAVA BIOTECHNOLOGY NETWORK that bring
together researchers from many countries are an
effective way to create synergy toward a common
goal
