| description | In April 1983 a branch of CIAT's Cassava Program was established in Bangkok, Thailand, to help Asian national cassava programs utilize CIAT technology more directly; CIAT's main involvement is in germplasm utilization and development, training, and communications. Sexual seeds have been the major means of germplasm transfer, and during the last 10 yr more than 100,000 hybrid seeds from approx. 1800 crosses have been distributed to cassava breeding programs in Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, China, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, and Republic of China (Taiwan). In Thailand CIAT germplasm has been effectively evaluated and used, and in Malaysia proper evaluation has been made. In the Philippines, cassava production has increased. Due to limited resources Indonesia is struggling to achieve a scheme of germplasm evaluation and utilization that satisfies national needs. India is not interested in CIAT germplasm due to its lack of mosaic resistance. Finally, in China lowland materials are being tested in subtropical climates. Tables and figures of results of yield trials of different clones and countries are included. (CIAT) |

(CIAT) En abril de 1983, se establecio una rama del Programa de Yuca del CIAT en Bangkok, Tailandia, para ayudar a los programas nacionales de yuca en Asia a utilizar la tecnologia del CIAT mas directamente; el principal papel del CIAT es el desarrollo y utilizacion de germoplasma, capacitacion y comunicaciones. Las semillas sexuales han sido el mayor medio de transferencia de germoplasma y durante los ultimos 10 anos mas de 100,000 semillas hibridas de aprox. 1800 cruces han sido distribuidas a los programas de mejoramiento de yuca en Tailandia, Indonesia, Filipinas, China, Malaysia, India, Vietnam y Republica de China (Taiwan). En Tailandia el germoplasma del CIAT ha sido evaluado y utilizado efectivamente, y en Malaysia se ha hecho una evaluacion apropiada. En Filipinas la produccion de yuca ha aumentado. Debido a recursos limitados, Indonesia esta luchando por lograr un esquema de evaluacion y utilizacion de germoplasma que satisfaga las necesidades nacionales. India no esta interesada en el germoplasma del CIAT por la falta de resistencia al mosaico. Finalmente, en China se estan ensayando materiales de tierras bajas en climas subtropicales. Se incluyen cuadros y graficas de los resultados de ensayos de rendimiento de diferentes clones y paises.
