The objectives of the cassava plant breeding program of the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario are indicated; 3 research projects are in process: (1) assessment and maintenance of germplasm, (2) obtainment of cassava hybrids from irradiated seed, and (3) obtainment of early maturing materials. To date, var. CMC 9 (Llanera), Manihoica P-11 (CMC 40), Manihoica P-12 (CMC 76), and Manihoica P-13 (HMC 1) have been released.
