The major outputs of the
Regional Research Program on "Cassava brown streak disease" in
Tanzania include: |
|
-
An
Open Quarantine Facility (OQF) has been established at Kibaha
Agricultural Research Institute, near Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This
will enable the importation of large quantities of cassava clones
with highly desirable attributes, in the form of cuttings from the
EARRNET/KARI breeding program near Mombasa, Kenya.
-
More
than 500 highly promising new cassava clones selected for their
resistance to cassava brown streak disease, from the seedling
nursery harvested in December 2002 at ARI Kibaha, Tanzania are
undergoing advanced evaluation at three sites in Tanzania.
