Results obtained by the cassava program of the National Root Crops Research Institute (Umudike, Nigeria) in 1984 are reported. Emphasis was placed on the control of Phenacoccus manihoti and Mononychellus tanajoa, the primary pests of cassava during the last 5 yr, through germplasm resistance and improved cultural, chemical, and biological control methods. Var. were identified that combined high yields, tolerance to P. manihoti and M. tanajoa, resistance to CAMD and CBB, and wide ecological adaptation. Cassava physiological studies were conducted and constraints imposed by soils and anthracnose received attention. Aspects of processing, utilization, and economics were studied. Improvements were made in the dewatering machine and harvesting aids. Individual papers are recorded in this same publication under the following consecutive numbers: (CIAT) eng
