Storage roots of cassava clones arising from six crosses between cassava varieties of different cyanogen levels were analyzed for total cyanogen content and linamarase (b-glucosidase) activity. Total cyanogen content for 113 clones ranged from 120 to 1941 mg HCN equivalent/kg roots dry wt., the mean
## Abstract The relationships between the percentage of dry matter (DM), specific gravity, percentage of starch and percentage of total fermentables in cassava storage roots have been examined in detail. The results confirm the findings of earlier workers that specific gravity can provide a reliabl
