Summary: Se uso la prueba de picrato de sodio para HCN para evaluar 88,510 plantas de yuca por su contenido cianogenico. No se hallaron plantas acianogenicas. Un no. reducido de plantas presento un grado de bajo a medio de cianogenesis mientras el resto de las plantas mostro un grado alto de cianogenesis. El metodo de examen selectivo es simple y sensible y se presta para la seleccion de campo en gran escala. (RA-CIAT)Summary: The sodium picrate test for HCN was used to evaluate 88,510 cassava plants for their cyanogenic content. No acyanogenic plants were found. A small number of plants exhibited a low to medium degree of cyanogenesis while the rest of the plants showed a high degree of cyanogenesis. The screening method is simple and sensitive and lends itself to large-scale field screening. (AS)
