Sweet cassava cultivars with yellow or cream root pulp developed by participatory breeding

Abstract

The sweet cassava cultivars BRS 396, BRS 397, BRS 398 and BRS 399, were selected through 27 participatory tests conducted at Distrito Federal, Brazil. Their agronomic performance and their high level of acceptance among producers qualify them as a new crop option for cultivation in the region.
