Aunque la yuca se ha considerado generalmente como resistente a las plagas, los acaros e insectos pueden limitar severamente el rendimiento. Los investigadores del CIAT estan desarrollando un programa de manejo de plagas, basado en el control biologico y variedades resistentes. Se informa sobre el trabajo con un complejo de acaros (Mononychellus tanajoa, M. mcgregori, Tetranychus urticae y Oligonychus peruvianus), trips (Frankliniella williamsi) y del gusano cachon (Erinnyis ello).

Although cassava is generally considered highly resistant to pests, mites and insects can severely limit root yield. CIAT is currently developing a pest management program based on host-plant resistance and biological control. Work with a complex of mites (Mononychellus tanajoa, M. mcgregori, Tetranychus urticae and Oligonychus peruvianus), thrips (Frankliniella williamsi) and the cassava hornworm (Erinnyis ello) is repoted.
