Collection of cassava landraces and associated farmers’ knowledge, genetic diversity and viral incidence assessment in western Kenya

2023-07-17

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Cassava is a crucial food crop in the western region of Kenya, producing 60% of the country’s production. It is mainly grown by small-scale farmers for subsistence use, with any surplus being sold. Many cassava landraces from the western region have been seriously affected by two viral diseases, cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) but have not been conse...
