Nomination of Cassava Variety, Poundable (TMEB693), for Registration and Release for Fresh Roots Markets in Nigeria

Abstract

The variety presented here for registration and release would serve as a replacement for older poundable or ‘boil and eat’ varieties, now out of cultivation, but persistently requested for by consumers and growers. We hereby present ‘POUNDABLE’, suitable for boiling and pounding, for registration and release as a variety to be grown by Nigerian cassava seed producers and farmers.
