Se revisa brevemente el programa de mejoramiento de raices y tuberculos del International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (Ibadan, Nigeria). Mientras que CAMV fue encontrado en Africa en 1894, CBB, el piojo harinoso de la yuca y las aranitas verdes son introducciones recientes. Su control es buscado a traves del mejoramiento por resistencia y el control biologico. A traves del mejoramiento tambien se han obtenido var. con bajo contenido de HCN.

The root and tuber improvement program of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (Ibadan, Nigeria) is briefly reviewed. While CAMV was found in Africa as early as 1894, CBB, cassava mealybug, and green spider mites are recent introductions. Their control is sought through resistance breeding and biological control. Var. with low HCN content have also been obtained through breeding. (Abstracts on Tropical Agriculture) eng
