Ahouandijinou (1983) also reported that cassava genotypes producing small necrotic lesions tend to have low
CAD incidence and severity, and can survive for longer periods, with higher production of functional leaves and reduced shoot die-back which affects yield. Based on these findings, TMS 4(2)1425, 98/0510, TMS 30211 and TMS 30001 are recommended for further improvement through breeding
