Abstract
Cassava is worldwide considered a staple food for over one billion people, so it has great importance
for food security. In Colombia, the highest production (45%) of cassava comes from the sub-humid
environment witch yield very low. The selection process favors genotypes with high dry matter productivity
through either high FRY or high DMC, but it is very dificult to find genotypes that are outstanding
simultaneously for both traits. For this, CORPOICA-CIAT established a phenotypic recurrent selection
program for cassava.
