✦ Synopsis

Portuguese traders introduced cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) from South America to Africa in the 16th century. Since then, it has become an increasingly important food source in an area ranging from 15 ° N to 20 ° S, the so-called cassava belt. Nowadays, its storage roots form an important source of carbohydrates for over 200 million people (Herren and Bennett, 1984). Cassava is easy to grow and tolerant to dry conditions, and it has been free of important pests until some
