IntroductionNeed for cassava intensification• To meet the demands of increasing population growth• Increase in demand for alternative uses - bioenergy
Way forward• Increase in yields in the same unit area in traditional growing
areas• Cultivation in new nichesChallenges• Poor adoption of improved varieties and crop management
practices.• Threats from established and emerging pests and diseases
in traditional and new cassava niches. • Climate change effect on host, pathogens and pests.• Lack of enabling environment (inadequate financial, policy
and political support)

Challenges due to clonal propagation
• Very low multiplication ratio (1:8), bulky & Perishable• Multiplication and distribution of stems are more
expensive than conventional seed (grain based)• Farmers do not specifically multiply stems for propagation,
but use stems from harvested plants. • Lack of incentive for the private sector to invest, and lack of
markets (due to low affordability by farmers)
![Page 46: 4.2 Disease Control and Pest Management in Cassava Production by Kumar, IITA](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102315/53f651b08d7f728d418b7cd9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Few actors involved in cassava stem multiplication
• Private non-profit organizations (e.g. NGOs, foundations);
• Public institutions (e.g. extension services, research institutions)
• Community organizations (CBOs)
• Depends on donor investments• Lack of sustainability• Cultural issues sometimes affect
multiplication projects
•Weak seed sector, •Expansion of area (intensification)
•High demand for planting material•Short supply of planting material
![Page 48: 4.2 Disease Control and Pest Management in Cassava Production by Kumar, IITA](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102315/53f651b08d7f728d418b7cd9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Massive multiplication & exchange programs
•Demand met through massive multiplication projects
•Massive movement of planting material within & between countries
•Inherent risk of pathogen exchange through planting material
•Particular problem with viruses - Cassava mosaic disease - Cassava brown streak disease
•Planting material could carry pathogens harmful pests and pathogens.

Production of clean planting material
Material from the field:•Insects •Nematodes•Fungi•Bacteria •Viruses
•Elimination of pests and pathogens through tissue culture, but not viruses.

•To distribute clean planting material to 1.15 million households in 6 countries.
•To strengthen the capacity of local partners to address CMD and CBSD threat to food security and income of cassava-depending farm families.
•8 national programs, 2 IARCs, 53 CSOs; 3,000 farmer groups.
