ACTIVITY PROPOSAL
I. RATIONALE
The cassava genepool consists of the cultivated species Manihot esculenta, and some
100 wild species. Both wild relatives and traditional landraces are the primary sources of genes
and gene combinations for new varieties.
Wild relatives of cassava could make an important contribution to the breeding of varieties
suitable for low-input intensification. However, wild Manihot species have been poorly
collected and are threatened in many of their native habitats. Action is urgently needed to
create in situ reserves for wild Manihot.
Like other crops, cassava is vulnerable to pests and diseases that can cause heavy yield
losses. In some regions, the incidence of pests and diseases is increasing as the crop is grown
more intensively over larger areas and planted throughout the year for industrial processing.
Because synthetic insecticide, fungicide and herbicide disrupt the natural crop ecosystem
balance, and can exacerbate pest and disease problems, Save and Grow seeks to minimize
their use through integrated pest management (IPM), a plant protection strategy that enhances
the biological processes and biodiversity that support crop production. A range of sustainable,
non-chemical measures can help cassava growers reduce losses to insect pests and diseases.
