NextGen Cassava

The Next Generation Cassava Breeding project unlocks the full potential of cassava & deliver improved varieties to farmers in #SSAfrica. Based @CornellGlobal

[NextGen Cassava @NextGenCassava]

Together with our partners around the world, we are bringing new energy and ideas to #cassava as we work to fulfill cassava’s enormous potential as the world’s most versatile climate-smart crop. https://t.co/Kw5DP3gZvb

🇹🇿🌿Early bulking variety🌿🇹🇿
Promising cassava variety in the release pipeline. High yield at 6months age (>12roots/plant). Early maturing variety responding very well to diverse agroecologies. Early maturing variety now available🎉. @NextGenCassava @IITA_CGIAR @EdwardKanju

In our bid to ensure only clean and true-to-type cassava varieties are available and accessible to our farmers, we adopted screen-house technology using semi-Autotrophics (SAH) derived plantlets to scale cassava production. https://t.co/IVC9OoJ5Af

Thrilled to share our work @Leibniz_DSMZ_en & @NextGenCassava
Another chapter in our BIG Story to understand more #CBSD and #CMD and highlight the #resistant #cassava genotypes is there🌿
And the story will continue with
more passion 🍃
