Farmers’ selection of quality traits in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) landraces from Vanuatu

2015-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) was introduced into Vanuatu shortly after 1850. Farmers have since selected and clonally propagated volunteer seedlings and new morphological variants found in cultivated plots. As cassava is free of serious pests and diseases in Vanuatu, it is unknown what are the farmers’ sought traits leading to diversification. The aim of the present study is to investigate the diversificatio...
