Cassava productivity is
hampered by pests and diseases including cassava mosaic
disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD).The main objective of this study was to identify stable
superior genotypes that combine disease
resistance and high yield. Sixteen cassava genotypes were planted in arandomized complete block design with three
replications for six planting seasons (years) at five sites in Tanzania.
The genotypes were assessed using the additive main effect and multiplicative
interaction (AMMI) analysis, and highly significant (P < 0.001) effects of genotype, environment, and
genotype-by-environment
(G*E) interactions were
observed for all traits studied. Percent sum
of squares (SS) due to environment (12.66% - 85.23%) was the highest
followed by G*E (14.12% -
39.56%) for CMD foliar symptoms, root weight and dry matter. On the other hand,
% SS due to genotype (52.14% - 69.14%) was
highest followed by G*E (26.14% - 35.91%) for CBSD foliar and root symptoms indicating that the
environment and G*E greatly influenced trait expression. The most stable genotypes which
